abstract:Hexcel () is a materials company incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, that manufactures composite materials and structural parts. The company was founded in 1946, and its first product was supplying honeycomb for the construction of military bombers.
Hexcel's composites business has been severely curtailed this year, not just from the Dreamliner delay but also as industrial customers cut back and wind turbine projects slow.
This means the likes of Spirit Aerosystems, Rockwell-Collins, Precision Castparts, Hexcel, Goodrich, Moog, Honeywell and United Technologies will see meaningful upticks in their already improving business fundamentals.
