The success of the S10 programme is the corner stone of Avon’s capability to produce world class products in the challenging field of CBRN. Developing on from this was the FM12 Respirator programme. Both the S10 and FM12 are in service today.

• Skilled personnel including designers, CAD engineers and specialists in the field of CBRN.
