Avon Protection (AVNBF) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Avon Protection plc is a manufacturer of advanced respiratory protection and personal protective equipment for military, first responder and industrial markets. The company develops and supplies a range of gas masks, respirators, filters and related equipment designed to guard against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats as well as airborne particulates encountered in firefighting and industrial applications.

Its product portfolio includes battle-focused CBRN protective masks, powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs), emergency escape hoods and collective protection systems. In addition to respiratory gear, Avon Protection offers ballistic helmets and combat body armour components, leveraging its expertise in aramid and thermoplastic composite materials to deliver protective solutions for defence and security forces.

Avon Protection was established as an independent entity through the demerger of Avon Rubber’s Protective Systems Division in April 2019. While the company’s roots trace back to capabilities developed over decades within its parent group, the spin-off enabled a dedicated focus on innovation, certification and global growth in the specialist protection market.

Headquartered in Swindon, U.K., with manufacturing and distribution facilities across North America and Europe, Avon Protection serves customers in over 50 countries. The business is led by Chief Executive Officer Richard Bradbury, whose leadership has emphasized expanding the company’s CBRN offerings and strengthening its position in key defence and emergency response sectors worldwide.
