Avon Technologies has won a $17.6m order from the US Army for its next-generation helmet.<\/p>\n

The Wiltshire manufacturer, which rebranded from Avon Protection last year, was awarded the Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System (NG-IHPS) helmet contract in 2021.<\/p>\n

Its American business, Team Wendy Ceradyne, received the delivery order which will help boost production at its Ohio site.<\/p>\n

Jos Sclater, Avon Technologies’ chief executive, said: “This delivery order adds to our strong order book and demonstrates the continued good demand from the US DoD for our world-leading head protection technology.<\/p>\n

“We continue to focus on ramping up production in our Cleveland factory to support our DoD programs and to deliver the best possible service to our customers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
