PSP

What PSP does

PSP Corp is a privately held Montreal, Canada-based manufacturer and distributor founded in 1989 (originally as Argentino by Giovanni Argentino) specializing in physical security and suicide prevention products for institutional buyers. The company designs and produces anti-ligature textiles and institutional safety equipment, including the flagship Argentino Signature Quilt Series (5-layer quilted Aramid fabric with ballistic nylon center layer, 100% inherently fire retardant) used for blankets, smocks, jumpsuits, slippers, pillows, and sleep pads, alongside the standardized SECUR™ line (3-layer quilted fire-retardant inherent polyester with S-pattern pick-proof lock stitching at 12 stitches per inch). Products are engineered to prevent rolling, folding, tearing, or twisting into ligatures, with white or light colors chosen for immediate visibility of blood in custodial settings. Beyond manufactured goods, PSP distributes third-party brands to round out the institutional procurement channel: Peerless Handcuffs (NIJ-compliant restraints, core Canadian distributor relationship), Moduform Furniture (behavioral health seating and restraint beds), Humane Restraint (physical restraint systems), and Zak Tool (law enforcement tools), as well as its own AKT Gear tactical and duty equipment line. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, operates from a single manufacturing and distribution facility in Montreal, and sells factory-direct through an e-commerce storefront (securblanket.com) plus phone and email support to correctional facilities, psychiatric hospitals, behavioral health institutions, law enforcement agencies, and Department of Defense installations across North America, Europe (including France), South America, and Oceania (including New Zealand). Pricing is unit-based per item with a lifetime manufacture defect guarantee on key lines. The company positions itself as the leading suicide prevention expert in North America and the only North American manufacturer of suicide prevention blankets at this quality standard.

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP): ASP designs and manufactures batons, restraints, tactical lighting, and training equipment for law enforcement. Comparable to PSP's AKT Gear tactical offerings and corrections-focused distribution of duty gear and restraints.
• Medline Industries: Medline is one of the largest private manufacturers and distributors of medical and surgical supplies serving hospitals, behavioral health, and long-term care. Comparable in supplying institutional healthcare buyers with the same customer profile as PSP's hospital and psychiatric accounts, though Medline operates across a much broader product catalog.
• 5.11 Tactical: 5.11 Tactical manufactures and sells uniforms, duty gear, and tactical apparel for law enforcement, military, and first responders. Overlaps with PSP's AKT Duty Gear distribution and tear-resistant apparel, though 5.11 operates at much greater scale across the broader public-safety apparel market.
• Safariland Group: Safariland is a large, diversified manufacturer and distributor of law enforcement equipment including holsters, body armor, restraints, and tactical gear. Overlaps with PSP's distribution of Peerless Handcuffs, AKT Gear, and Humane Restraint product lines serving corrections and law enforcement.
• Stryker Corporation: Stryker is a major medical device manufacturer with dedicated behavioral health and patient handling product lines. Relevant peer for PSP's healthcare-side customers (hospitals and psychiatric facilities), though Stryker's portfolio spans far beyond suicide-prevention products.

Direct peers

• Centurion Service Group: Centurion is a specialty distributor of medical equipment and supplies to correctional facilities and behavioral health institutions. Comparable to PSP in serving prison systems and psychiatric hospitals with patient-safety equipment, though Centurion focuses on capital equipment rather than anti-ligature textiles.
• Soma Tech Intl: Soma Tech refurbishes and distributes medical equipment with a specialty focus on correctional and behavioral health facilities. Comparable buyer overlap with PSP — prisons, psychiatric hospitals, and government health systems — though Soma focuses on capital equipment rather than anti-ligature textiles.
• Monadnock Defense (Monadnock Non-Lethal): Monadnock manufactures batons, restraints, and less-lethal equipment for law enforcement and corrections. Comparable to PSP's distribution of Peerless Handcuffs and AKT Gear restraint product lines targeting the same corrections and police buyer base.
• Tidi Products: Tidi Products (owner of the Posey brand) manufactures patient safety and restraint products including suicide prevention garments, soft restraints, and fall-protection textiles. Directly comparable to PSP's anti-ligature smocks, jumpsuits, and restraint distribution business in hospitals, psychiatric units, and correctional facilities.

Emerging players

• Wieland Healthcare: Wieland Healthcare is a European manufacturer of healthcare and behavioral health furniture, including anti-ligature and seclusion-room solutions. Comparable to PSP's Moduform furniture distribution and Argento/SECUR blanket offerings for psychiatric and correctional environments, particularly relevant for PSP's stated European expansion ambitions.
