| Hexcel building Carbon Fiber plant in Europe Hexcel Corporation is building a carbon fiber plant near Madrid, Spain. In the United States, the Company is adding an additional carbon fiber line to its Salt Lake City, UT facility and additional capacity at its Decatur, AL facility. The new U.S. line will be aerospace qualified by the end of 2007 and the Spanish line in 2008. These additional carbon fiber manufacturing lines constitute the previously announced $100 million project that will increase Hexcel’s global carbon fiber capacity by about 50%. Approximately half of this capacity expansion will be provided by the new Spanish plant. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
