Hexcel Corp. (Stamford, Conn., U.S.) has 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,” says Lyndon Smith, Hexcel’s president of Americas and global fibers. “Expanding our official distribution network enables 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.”

Through this expanded distribution network, Hexcel will deliver its advanced composite materials more efficiently and flexibly. Customers will also 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.
