Hexcel Expands Official Americas Aerospace Distribution Network

Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL), a global leader in advanced composites technology, today announced a significant expansion of its official Americas aerospace distribution network, now including Composites One, GracoRoberts, Heatcon, Krayden, and Pacific Coast Composites. This move reflects Hexcel’s commitment to increasing agility and responsiveness across the aerospace sector, particularly for startups and fast-growing segments developing capabilities for unmanned vehicles, eVTOLs, hypersonics, and other defense and space applications.

“Our goal is to be as agile as the markets we serve,” said Lyndon Smith, President, Americas & Global Fibers, Hexcel. “Expanding our official distribution network allows us to deliver our aerospace materials through multiple channels, ensuring customers have access to the right products, in the right quantities, at the right time. This move reflects our commitment to responsiveness, innovation, and customer success.”

The expanded distribution network enables Hexcel to deliver its advanced composite materials more efficiently and flexibly. Customers will benefit from broader geographic coverage, faster turnaround times, and improved access to technical support. These distributors bring extensive infrastructure, specialized capabilities such as roll slitting and kitting, and robust e-commerce platforms that make it easier for aerospace manufacturers to source the materials they need—whether in large volumes or small, customized quantities.

As a vertically integrated manufacturer, Hexcel controls every stage of its production process—from fiber and resin development to prepreg manufacturing and engineered core solutions. This integration ensures consistent quality, supply chain reliability, and technical excellence across its entire product portfolio. By combining this manufacturing strength with an expanded distribution footprint, Hexcel is uniquely positioned to meet the evolving needs of aerospace customers with speed and precision.

Hexcel will be joined by the new members of its distribution network at the 2025 Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), the largest and most comprehensive event for composites and advanced materials in North America, which will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, September 9-11, in Orlando, Florida. The event provides an opportunity to engage directly with aerospace customers and showcase the enhanced capabilities available through this broader network.
