About the Company

Hexcel

Carbon fiber reinforcements, resin systems, honeycomb

Hexcel produces advanced composite materials for aerospace, including carbon fiber reinforcements and resin systems, and is the world leader in honeycomb manufacturing. Its products are used to make lightweight, strong aircraft components. Carbon fiber reinforcements and resins form composite materials by combining fibers with a resin that binds them; honeycomb structures provide a lightweight core that increases stiffness and reduces weight. Hexcel differentiates itself by its leadership in honeycomb manufacturing and its broad, integrated line of aerospace-grade carbon fiber, prepregs, resins, and honeycomb products. The company's goal is to help create lighter, more efficient airframes and other structures by advancing the use of composite materials.
