Bath Chronicle
|July 10, 2025
A local company has secured an order from the Ministry of Defence worth more than £10m to supply gas masks to the Ukrainian army.
Melksham-based Avon Protection - a division of Avon Technologies - has already sent more than 65,000 respirators out to Europe to support troops fighting in the war against Russia, according to the BBC.
This latest deal will see the business send out its FM50 respirators, which meet the latest NATO forces’ military mask requirements, with variants in use across the world.
