Nonwovenn is investing £1.5 million in its ProTech
division to strengthen its market-leading position in
personal protection and harm reduction. The investment is
part of a long-term growth strategy, with a business unit
target of £16 million turnover by 2028.
A major focus of the investment is in the research and
development of CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological
and nuclear) protective solutions for first responder and
military safety and protective clothing. Nonwovenn is also
working closely with ministries of defence and first
responders across the globe.
To support this ambitious growth, Nonwovenn has
strengthened its specialist team with four key expert
recruits with considerable understanding and experience.
Nonwovenn is also making significant strides in product
innovation with new CBRN solutions set to launch
throughout 2025 and 2026. Among these are advancements
in protection systems for firefighters focused on volatile
organic compound (VOC) filtration, as well as nextgeneration protective solutions tailored towards military
and first responders. “This is an exciting time at
Nonwovenn,” says head of ProTech Andrew Fisher. “Not
only are we investing in cutting-edge R&D but we’re also
building a strong team to bring these innovations to market
and fully support our customers. By combining our
advanced technology with real-world application insight we

reduction.” Nonwovenn chairman, David Lamb added; “Our
focus on growth, innovation and talent acquisition reflects
our commitment to advancing protective solutions for the
industries that need them most. With our ambitious R&D
