(Sharecast News) - Protective equipment manufacturer Avon Technologies said on Monday that it has received a new order for its CBRN filters from an existing European NATO nation under the NATO Support & Procurement Agency framework contract.
Avon Technologies said Avon Protection, its respiratory and integrated CBRN protection business unit, had received a $10.8m order that will support the ongoing modernisation of protective capability for military personnel and includes FM50 twin-filter Air Purifying Respirators, FM61EU filters and related accessories.
The FTSE FTSE 250-listed firm said the FM50 was a twin-filter full-face respirator designed to NATO military requirements, providing lower breathing resistance and improved wearer comfort to maximise time in the field. The system enables continuous respiratory protection in hazardous environments, supporting operational effectiveness across a range of mission scenarios.
Avon Technologies added that the new order further underpinned expectations for FY27.
Chief executive Jos Sclater said: "This new order highlights Avon Protection's long-standing position as a trusted supplier to NATO and allied forces, delivering equipment designed to support both protection and operational effectiveness.
"Avon Protection supplies respiratory systems to 16 NATO nations under the NSPA framework, reflecting the increasing focus on modernising CBRN capability across the alliance. The NSPA framework provides a strong platform for repeatable demand as customers upgrade and standardise their equipment."
As of 0910 BST, Avon shares were up 0.22% at 1,788p.
