Avon Technologies plc is pleased to confirm that the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has placed an order worth approximately £10.2M for Avon Protection FM50 respirators in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Avon Protection’s FM50 respirator meets the latest NATO forces’ military mask requirements with variants in use across the world. It provides full-face protection against CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) threats, with very low breathing resistance that ensures a comfortable wearer experience.
Jos Sclater, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are proud of the contribution Avon Protection provides to the national security of the
United Kingdom and its international partners. This order demonstrates our critical contribution to the overall health and resilience of the UK defence industrial base and reinforces the UK’s commitment to continue its military support to Ukraine, as stated in the 2025 Strategic Defence Review.”
Steve Elwell, President of Avon Protection, commented: “The UK has put its trust in Avon Protection’s products for decades, most recently with an order for our EXOSKIN boots and gloves and now with this FM50 order. This trust is extended to the benefit of our Ukraine partner to provide enhanced protection for their personnel on the front line.”
