In plain English
Hexcel makes the lightweight advanced composites — carbon fiber, prepregs, honeycomb and structural adhesives — that go into the wings, fuselages and engines of modern aircraft. It is vertically integrated: it turns acrylonitrile into its own PAN precursor, spins that into HexTow carbon fiber, and sells the finished materials to Airbus (~40% of sales) and Boeing (~15%).
