Avon Protection’s range of protective equipment will be on display at CBRNe Protection Symposium on 20th-22nd September on booth #54 and #61.

Avon Protection subject matter experts will help shape the future of CBRNe protection at the 14th CBRNe Protection Symposium in Malmö, Sweden, with two company presentations to focus on critical issues facing the CBRNe protection community worldwide. 

CBRN protective equipment

Avon Protection’s CBRN experts Hamish de Bretton-Gordon and Tom Williams will lead discussions in two key areas; implications of the future chemical and biological weapons threat for military capability and how the evolving global threat is driving a case for a new military dress category state.
