Richards Group operates with two core divisions, Healthcare and Packaging, each positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value. Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, we serve a global customer base with market-leading medical devices, supplies, and equipment, as well as a diverse range of glass and plastic packaging solutions. Our differentiators are product innovation, high-touch service, and deep expertise.

Founded in 1912, Richards evolved into a North American leader in glass and plastic packaging and expanded into healthcare in the mid-2010s. Today, we are the largest Canadian distributor in aesthetic, pharmacy, and vision care devices and are actively pursuing OEM opportunities. Our diverse operations enable consistent growth and strong cashflow in variable market conditions.
Our value creation strategy focuses on disciplined capital deployment, operational modernization, and a culture of entrepreneurship. This approach positions Richards to deliver long-term value while funding organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
