NEW BUSINESS
3M Co., Maplewood, has received additional orders from the U.S. government for its enhanced combat helmet. The company will deliver 35,000 helmets for the U.S. Army and 2,500 helmets for the U.S. Navy, in addition to the 77,000 ordered for the U.S. Marine Corps last fall. The new orders bring the total contract value for enhanced combat helmets and associated spare parts to $107 million. This contract for more than 114,000 helmets is an outcome of the joint procurement program led by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army to improve head protection for Marines, soldiers and sailors.
