Avon Protection has announced a new $12 million order of its CBRN respiratory protective equipment systems for an existing European customer.
The company, a respiratory and integrated CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) protection business unit of Avon Technologies, has confirmed that the order underpins demand expectations for FY2026–27.
The new system includes Avon’s FM53 air purifying respirator, combination system powered air purifying respirator (CS-PAPR), and ST53 self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
The FM53 is a full-face respirator designed to give operators the ability to quickly switch between protection modes in the field, combined with the CS-PAPR and ST53, it allows the user to respond immediately to evolving threat conditions while maintaining continuous respiratory protection during longer or more demanding operations.
“This order highlights the significant enhanced respiratory protection upgrade opportunity as customers transition from legacy respirators to our next-generation platforms, delivering lower burden, improved combat effectiveness and enhanced integration across CBRN systems,” chief executive officer Jos Sclater said.
“Demand across our European NATO customer base remains strong, underpinned by a continued increased CBRN threat environment, ongoing mask fleet modernisation and a growing focus on fully integrated CBRN capability.”
Avon Technologies’ two brands, Avon Protection and Team Wendy, supply respiratory and head protection portfolio to international customers from manufacturing sites in the UK and North America.
