This order further demonstrates the recurring nature of the DoD’s demand as they continue to invest in protecting the lives of their war fighters in an increasingly prevalent CBRN threat environment.
Avon Technologies is pleased to confirm that its Avon Protection business unit has received a delivery order worth $18.3 million from the US Department of Defense (DoD) for the M50 Joint Service General Purpose mask and related carriers. This order was issued pursuant to Avon Protection’s existing M50 framework contract.
Avon Protection provides a critical national defence capability to the DoD as the sole supplier of its M50 CBRN respirator, which provides full-face protection against CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) threats. The M50 respirator is in use within all branches of the US military.
This contract will be delivered in our FY26 financial year and further adds to our strong order book going into next year.
Jos Sclater, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We have a long standing partnership with the US Department of Defence to supply our world-leading M50 CBRN mask. This order further demonstrates the recurring nature of the DoD’s demand as they continue to invest in protecting the lives of their war fighters in an increasingly prevalent CBRN threat environment.”
