hexcel正式在法国开设新的碳纤维生产线

 

新的37英亩的工厂致力于生产碳纤维和聚丙烯腈前驱体。

 

       在该项目于2014年9月30日启动四年后，该网站已投入运营，并提高了Hexcel全球碳纤维生产能力。Hexcel在该工厂投资2亿欧元。它将产生120个直接职位和250个间接职位。Hexcel在法国的员工现已增至1，200人，在奥弗涅-里昂-阿尔卑斯地区拥有1，000多名员工。

 

区域足迹

 

       在Osiris化学品工业平台上，该地点是由Hexcel选择的，因为它靠近其他Hexcel站点，其质量良好的基础设施和运作卓越，以及法国有竞争力的价格电力供应。

 

       这座新工厂与Hexcel在奥弗涅-里恩-阿尔卑斯地区的现有工厂、欧洲的碳纤维织造厂莱斯·阿韦尼雷斯(Les Avenières)以及预浸织物和碳纤维制造商达格纽克斯(Dagneux)的合作，将为高性能复合材料部门创造一个全球生态系统，涵盖从碳纤维到被称为prepreg的树脂浸渍织物的整个生产链。

 

支持增长

 

        自2015年以来，Hexcel一直在其世界各地投资，主要是为了支持对复合材料的日益增长的需求和航空航天工业项目的发展，例如空中客车(A 350 XWB)和Safran(CFM International Leap Engine)。

 

       Hexcel欧洲/亚洲-太平洋/中东/非洲总裁蒂埃里·梅洛解释说：“我们已经迎接了从我们的美国工厂建设和转让PAN和碳纤维制造技术到法国的挑战，我们能够满足航空航天客户的需求以及他们对碳复合材料的日益增长的需求。该网站已经获得了第一批航空航天认证。“

 

有效的就业和培训制度

 

       2014年，Hexcel与法国国家就业机构P le Employei签署了一项区域总协议，通过实施就业模拟招聘(MRS)，支持该机构的发展，并为奥弗涅-Rh ne-阿尔卑斯地区的网站雇用200多名雇员。

 

       蒂埃里·梅洛说：“最近几年，Hexcel变得更有吸引力了。奥弗涅-里昂-阿尔卑斯地区提供了培训支持。新员工接受了定制培训课程，包括在美国和西班牙的Hexcel设施进行现场培训。“

 

增加研发投资

 

       他补充说：“今天，由于有机增长和获得补充技术，我们能够投资于生产能力。最近的收购和合作使我们能够多样化并获得新的技术解决方案，如添加剂制造、粘合剂、拉挤工艺和热塑性塑料。为此，我们今年与阿尔克马公司签署了一项战略伙伴关系，以开发碳纤维增强热塑性塑料，并在法国设立了一个新的联合研发部门。“

 

       Hexcel宣布，Les Avenières网站将于2019年第一季度推出一个3500平方米的研发中心，重点是新工艺和高压釜技术。这将支持高性能复合材料的创新，并继续扩大其在用于航空结构应用的复合材料方面的市场份额。

 

       蒂埃里·梅洛说：“我们正在进入一个高度活跃的研发阶段，以便为明天的发动机和飞机设计新一代材料和工艺。”

Hexcel officially opens its new carbon fiber production line in France

 

The new 37-acre plant is devoted to the manufacture of carbon fiber and PAN precursor.

 

Four years after the project launch on September 30, 2014, the site is operational and increasing Hexcel’s global carbon fiber production capacity. Hexcel invested 200 million Euros in the plant. It will generate 120 direct jobs and 250 indirect positions. Hexcel’s workforce in France has now risen to 1,200 people with more than 1,000 employees located in the Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes region.

 

Regional footprint

 

based at the Osiris Chemicals Industry Platform, the location was chosen by Hexcel due to its proximity to other Hexcel sites, its quality infrastructure and operational excellence and the availability of competitively priced electricity in France.

 

Operating in synergy with Hexcel’s existing sites in the Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes region, Les Avenières, a carbon fiber weaving plant in Europe, and Dagneux, manufacturer of prepreg fabrics and carbon fibers, the new plant will create a global ecosystem for the high-performance composite materials sector covering the entire production chain from carbon fiber to resin-impregnated fabrics called prepreg.

 

Supporting growth

 

Since 2015, Hexcel has invested in all its locations worldwide, largely to support the growing demand for composites and the development of aerospace industry programs such as Airbus (A350 XWB) and Safran (CFM International LEAP engine).

 

Thierry Merlot, Hexcel President Europe/Asia-Pacific/Middle East/Africa, explained: “We have met the challenges of constructing and transferring PAN and carbon fiber manufacturing technology from our American sites to France, and we are able to respond to the needs of aerospace customers and their growing demand for carbon composite materials. The site has already received its first aerospace certifications.”

 

Efficient employment and training systems

 

In 2014, Hexcel signed a regional master agreement with P?le emploi, the French national employment agency, to support its development and hire over 200 employees for its sites in the Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes region through the implementation of job simulation recruitment (MRS).

 

Thierry Merlot said: “Hexcel has become more attractive in recent years. The Auvergne-Rh?ne-Alpes region has provided support with training. New employees have received customized training courses, including onsite training at Hexcel facilities in the United States and Spain.”

 

Increased investment in R&D

 

He added:

 

“Today we are able to invest in production capacity thanks to both organic growth and the acquisition of complementary technologies. Recent acquisitions and partnerships have enabled us to diversify and acquire new technology solutions such as additive manufacturing, adhesives, pultrusion processes and thermoplastics. For this purpose, this year we signed a strategic partnership with Arkema to develop carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and set up a new joint research and development unit in France.”

 

Hexcel announces the launch of a 3,500m2 R&D center at the Les Avenières site scheduled for the first quarter of 2019 with a focus on new processes and Out of Autoclave technologies. This will support innovations in high-performance composites and continue to grow its market share in composite materials for aerostructure applications.

 

Thierry Merlot said: “We are entering a highly active phase of research and development in order to design new generation materials and processes for the engines and aircraft of tomorrow.”
