Groupe Gazechim & Hexcel team up at Paris Air Show
June 17, 2015 - United States Of America
Groupe Gazechim Composites, an official distributor of Hexcel products, has teamed up with Hexcel Corporation, and presenting its composites for the aerospace industry at the ongoing Paris Air Show 2015.
Groupe Gazechim Composites is an official distributor Hexcel’s affiliate composites distribution has industry approval to distribute Hexcel’s aerospace materials, supporting the growing demand for composites driven by their greater use in aerospace structures.
Hexcel appointed Groupe Gazechim Composites to enhance its service to the aerospace supply chain, in particular to respond to requests from its customers for smaller delivery volumes and short lead times.
As more and more composite-intensive aircraft enter service around the World there is an increasing requirement for airlines to carry out composite repair operations. Repairing aircraft quickly to minimize downtime means that small quantities of materials have to be readily available at all times. Hexcel and Composites Distribution are partnering to provide solutions for MRO that allow aircraft repairs to be carried out quickly and conveniently.
Composites Distribution is also launching the new CAB concept (Composite AeroBox) at the Air Show. This efficient tool kit has different compartments for the storage of frozen prepregs, ancillary materials that are kept at ambient temperature and a hotbonder control panel, all contained within an easy to transport box that holds everything that is required for a quick repair of a composite part out in the field, according to a press release.
Hexcel’s range of products developed for composite repair that includes HexPly M20 prepreg and HexForce carbon fabrics, are also a part of the expo. These materials are approved by the Commercial Aircraft Composite Repair Committee (CACRC) that sets global aerospace standards for composite repair operations.
Groupe Gazechim Composites is a European network of 38 specialist distributors covering 23 countries, all certified to ISO9001 and EN9120, with over 40 years’ experience of supplying composite materials to all markets.
Hexcel Corporation is a leading advanced composites company. It develops, manufactures and markets lightweight, high-performance structural materials, including carbon fibres, reinforcements, prepregs, honeycomb, matrix systems, adhesives and composite structures, used in commercial aerospace, space and defence, and industrial applications.
