About this Location |
|
Hexcel’s facility in Tianjin, China was opened in 2008 to meet the growing requirement for composite materials used in wind energy. The plant was built in conjunction with Tianjin Xeda Administrative Committee (Xeda), who helped Hexcel to secure a site with a total floor area of 30,000m2, close to the facilities of major wind power customers in Tianjin. The plant building occupies an area of approximately 8,000m2 and manufactures HexPly® epoxy resin prepregs, primarily for wind energy and industrial applications.
Prepreg is a fibre-reinforced resin system that cures under heat and pressure to provide structures that are exceptionally strong and stiff and yet lower weight than traditional materials. Hexcel was the first company to supply prepregs for composite wind blades in the early 1990’s.
Hexcel has a strong presence in China where the sales office has been operating in Shanghai for over 10 years.
