TenCate Protective Fabrics USA has signed a contract with a new unnamed customer outside of the US for the delivery of TenCate Defender M inherently flame-resistant fabric regarding personal protective uniforms for national armed forces.

Initial deliveries of this multi-year contract will take place in the first quarter of 2015. On the basis of this contract, TenCate expects a substantial increase in TenCate Defender M revenues in the coming year.

Properties

The TenCate Defender M thermal barrier has been designed with the same fibre and technology used to protect US Army and Marine ground forces in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2007.
