(Alliance News) - Avon Technologies PLC on Wednesday said its Avon Protection division has received an order worth about USD12 million from an existing European customer.
The Wiltshire, England-based military and law enforcement protection equipment manufacturer didn't name the defence customer but said it is a member of Nato.
Avon said the new order underpins its financial expectations for financial year 2027. The company's financial year ends on September 30. For financial 2026, it expects revenue growth of a high single-digit percentage.
Avon Protection provides respiratory and integrated chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protective systems. Team Wendy, Avon Technology's other business unit, provides ballistic and impact protection helmet systems.
The new system includes Avon's FM53 air purifying respirator, combination system powered air purifying respirator, and ST53 self-contained breathing apparatus.
Chief Executive Officer Jos Sclater said: "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.
"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."
Shares in Avon Technologies were up 3.4% to 1,840.00 pence per share Wednesday early afternoon in London.
