At the recent Embraer Partners and Suppliers Conference held in Sao Paolo in Brazil, Hexcel was honored to receive the Supplier of the Year Award in the Raw Materials category.

This was the ninth Annual Awards ceremony held by Embraer where suppliers are acknowledged for the quality of product and service that they provide.

Hexcel is a long term supplier to Embraer, with sole source contracts for the supply of prepregs and other composite materials for Embraer programs including the new Phenom 100/300, Embraer 170 and 190 families of commercial jets.

Collecting the award on behalf of Hexcel was Charlie Dunbar, Sales Director, Americas. He said; “It is a great honor for Hexcel to be presented with this award in recognition of our long-term partnership with Embraer and our work over the last 12 months. It’s an accolade which recognizes the contribution of all Hexcel staff, working as a team.”
