As part of the development of its Equipment Business Line, the Nexter Group’s ambition is to form a European leader dedicated to personal protection solutions for soldiers and security forces, particularly against CBRN threats (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear).

Following the integration of Paul Boyé Technologies, with a workforce of 250 employees and a turnover expected to reach 100 million euros, the new entity would be in a position to gain recognition in the highly competitive international market within its scope of activity: Detection, Individual protection, Collective protection and Decontamination. In order to support the integration within the new Nexter CBRN Business Line, Jacques and Philippe Boyé, the current shareholders and directors of Paul Boyé SA, have agreed to continue working with Paul Boyé Technologies. The aim of both companies is to sign a final agreement in early 2014 after having obtained approval from the relevant bodies and authorities.
