UK MoD respirator order for Ukraine

 

Avon Technologies plc is pleased to confirm that the UK Ministry of Defence
(MoD) has placed an order worth approximately £10.2 million 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.

 

This order will be delivered in the FY26 financial year and further adds to
our strong order book.

 

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."
