What PRATIKO INC. does
PRATIKO INC. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer and distributor founded in 2006 by brothers Jean-Marc Landry (Engineer/Director of Research and Development) and Michel Landry (Marketing/Production Director/Accounting). The company operates four distinct product divisions from a 15,000 sq.ft. facility in Richmond, Quebec and a US regional office in Lyndonville, Vermont opened in September 2017. Its Medical division sells wheelchair safety and accessibility products including the patented Wasby 100% mechanical automatic braking system (compatible with 25+ wheelchair brands, 4.5 kg, 90-minute installation), profiled rubber handrims, manual brake extensions, FDA-approved bath cushions, and adapted utensils with silicone sleeves. The Foldable Shelf division sells a patented plastified-steel foldable shelf for student, sports, and worker lockers. The Abrasive Spreader division sells urethane spreading discs and reinforced spreading slides for salt/sand winter road maintenance. The Custom Products division offers design, 3D drawing, 3D prototyping, casting (urethane/silicone/foam), plastic fusion on metal, fluoropolymer coating, machining, metal forming, and sprayable polyurea coatings for low-to-medium production runs of 10 to 10,000 parts per order.
The company's core technology is rooted in proprietary materials chemistry and manufacturing processes rather than software: thermosetting urethane molding with hardness from 0A to 95A, silicone molding from 00 to 60A with heat resistance to 250°C, urethane foam molding from 5 to 25 lbs./ft.³, polypropylene/polyethylene/nylon plastic fusion on metal up to 0.035 inches thick, and the EPAPROOF sprayable polyurea line with fire-resistant (B s2d0) and food-contact-compliant formulations. No APIs, SDKs, AI/ML systems, mobile applications, or data flywheel mechanisms are disclosed.
PRATIKO's revenue model is channel-driven and transaction-based. Three of four divisions generate one-time license/unit-sale revenue through authorized medical equipment distributors across North America (all 10 Canadian provinces and all 50 US states) and Europe (Osmosohandicap), with a complementary e-commerce boutique for select products. The Custom Products division generates project-based professional services revenue for one-off to small-batch industrial clients, with sales engaged via direct quote, email ([email protected]), and a website contact form. The company is entirely founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no public listing.

PRATIKO INC. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Invacare Corporation: Long-standing North American manufacturer of wheelchairs, manual and power mobility products, and home medical equipment. Comparable as both a potential competitor in mobility accessories and a customer base for retrofit safety products like the Wasby.
- Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare: Large US-based distributor and manufacturer of durable medical equipment including wheelchairs, rollators, bath safety, and daily living aids. Comparable through its medical product breadth (bath cushions, mobility aids) and as a competing channel partner to PRATIKO's distributor network.
