Avon Technologies plc is pleased to confirm that Avon Protection, our respiratory and integrated protection business unit, has received a new European order for FM50 respirators and FM61EU filters via the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) contract vehicle. The order, worth approximately $20.6 million, will be delivered over FY2026 and FY2027.
Avon Protection’s FM50 respirator and FM61EU filter, is designed to protect the wearer from CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) threats in line with latest NATO requirements. Avon Protection was awarded the 10-year NSPA FM50 contract in 2020, enabling NATO nations and partners to purchase the FM50 respirator, MP-PAPR, ST53, filters and related accessories.
This order further underpins the Group’s expectations for FY2026 and beyond, in line with the guidance provided at the full year results in November 2025.
