Profile
Avon Protection is the respiratory and CBRN protection business of Avon Technologies plc, the London-listed group that was renamed from Avon Protection plc in 2024 so that the group and its business units were not confused; the group's other business is the Team Wendy helmet unit. The business supplies respirators, masks and powered air systems to military, law-enforcement and first-responder customers.
More profile
In 2026 it won CBRN orders including a 10.8 million dollar NATO order for respirators and a US Department of War selection of its MITR-M1 half mask and MITR-PG1 powered goggle for Special Operations Forces. Contract references for helmets, including a 17.6 million dollar March 2025 delivery order under the US Army's next-generation helmet programme, belong to Team Wendy rather than the CBRN unit.
