In the 1980s, Lac-Mac partnered with W.L. Gore to co-develop one of the first reusable, breathable surgical barrier textiles—a groundbreaking innovation that set new standards in medical PPE. Our decades-long collaboration with Gore exemplified the power of aligned expertise, driving market leadership through innovation and performance.

Building on this legacy, Lac-Mac continued the pursuit of textile excellence. In partnership with a German technical textile specialist, we developed and launched R.MOR.Tex® in 2013—our own proprietary surgical barrier fabric engineered for lightweight comfort, high breathability, durable protection, and environmental sustainability.

Today, R.MOR.Tex® stands as a trusted choice in medical facilities across North America, continuing our commitment to performance-driven, reusable PPE.

At Lac-Mac, sustainability is built into our business. We design durable, reusable PPE that reduces landfill waste and carbon emissions. Our facility uses 100% recycled shipping cartons, LED lighting for energy efficiency, and paperless marketing materials.

We’ve also repurposed fabric waste into branded giveaways and support net-zero energy initiatives—all part of our mission to create safer, greener solutions.
