Under the A350 XWB award, Hexcel will principally supply a HexPly toughened epoxy prepreg made with Hexcel's HexTow intermediate modulus carbon fiber.

Hexcel expects to make significant capital expenditures for capacity expansions as the A350 ramps up to its anticipated build rate.

The exact timing and the size of these expansions will be determined by the build rate forecasts by Airbus and its suppliers.

The materials and their components will be manufactured at Hexcel facilities in the U.S, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.
