AirBoss Announces New Order Valued at up to US$8.1M for Canadian Department of National Defense

AirBoss of America Corp. (TSX: BOS) (OTCQX:ABSSF) (the “Company” or “AirBoss”) today announced that AirBoss Defense Group (“ADG”), AirBoss Manufactured Products’ (“AMP”) defense business, has received an order from the Canadian Department of National Defense (“Canadian DND”) for ADG’s Low Burden Masks (“LBM”), filters and related accessories under the In-Service Support Contract awarded to ADG in 2018 (the “JGSR Contract”). The value of this order is expected to be worth up to US$8.1 million. Deliveries are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026 and conclude in the first quarter of 2027.

The LBM is a lightweight military respirator designed to provide optimal weight distribution and minimal breathing resistance and has been sold to multiple partner nations since 2017. The JGSR Contract with the Canadian DND, entered into in 2018, marked the first major adoption of the LBM and served to replace the legacy C4 gas mask and C7A cannisters previously in service with the Canadian Forces. Since entering into this contract, ADG has fulfilled multiple LBM mask orders for the Canadian DND and other military customers globally.

“This order, which represents the continued adoption and use of the LBM by the Canadian DND, reinforces the positive momentum experienced by our defense business over the past year and a half,” said Chris Bitsakakis, President and co-CEO of AirBoss. “The LBM was developed to be the world’s most advanced gas mask and has seen strong adoption since its introduction, reflecting our ongoing commitment to delivering protective and survivability solutions that help ensure the safety of our warfighters operating in challenging environments and conditions.”
