Canada’s Galvion awarded Latvian helmet supply framework under EU SAFE programme

Latvia awarded Galvion a five-year framework worth up to €27.8 million for Batlskin Hellbender helmet systems and lifecycle support under the European Union's Security Action for Europe initiative. The agreement covers high-cut and mid/full-cut helmets, spare parts, accessories, maintenance and refurbishment, rather than a disclosed fixed quantity of delivered headgear. Both configurations use the APEX liner and accommodate equipment such as night-vision goggles, communications, face protection and chemical or biological masks. Galvion will cooperate with Latvian industry, supported by its Gdańsk production hub and European manufacturing partners to provide regional assembly, finishing, inspection and ongoing support.
