Hexa Composites are a global leader in composite materials and technology. Hexa Composites solutions make a wide range of applications stronger, lighter and stronger. As a leading manufacturer of aerospace carbon fiber reinforced materials and resin systems and honeycombs, Hells has always been a trusted partner for customers in the aerospace industry.

Commercial Aviation

Hells is a world supplier of carbon fiber, honeycomb and other composite materials, providing a variety of compliant materials to the commercial aerospace industry. Since the introduction of prepregs in the 1970s, the application of each new model of composite materials has continued to increase significantly. Composite materials are currently required for all spacecraft manufacturing, and the commercial aerospace industry is a major user of Hexa composites. For more than 60 years, Hexa has insisted on continuous innovation, using IM carbon fiber, toughened epoxy resin, non-thermopress curing prepregs, noise-reducing honeycombs and composite components to help designers continuously break through various limitations in aircraft performance.

General industry

Hexagon Compliant Materials and Technology help customers in various industries gain competitive advantages in market competition. Hertha's industrial business focuses on three main market segments driven by performance: energy (including wind, solar, oil, gas and nuclear power generation, and energy storage), automotive and other special areas, focusing on the athleisure and marine sectors. With wind turbine blade size increasing to power more efficient turbines, and automotive designers face the challenge of reducing CO2 emissions, lightweight has become a priority. Hearst’s products are driving weight reduction and improving manufacturing efficiency to support these trends.

Hearst's official dealers support Hearst's industrial market segmentation to more effectively cover all users within the geographical area. Hershey's industrial business complements the aerospace and defense business, and in many cases the products and technologies that Hershey now uses in aerospace have begun in the industrial sector. Hearst's R&D activities focus on applications where advanced composite materials have obvious technological advantages over other materials, while providing cost-competitive solutions.

Hexford is an industry-wide integrated composite solutions provider, from carbon fiber, woven and non-curl fabrics (glass and carbon fibers) to those used in thermosetting prepregs, laminates and pultruded components. The stages of resin formulation, molding materials, composite tools, honeycombs and adhesives are all advantageous.

Space and National Defense

From helicopters to defense to space carriers, Hells provides composite materials for more than 100 space and defense projects. Hells is also a leader in composite materials for helicopter blades. Many new helicopter projects in development, as well as upgrades or modifications, rely more on composite materials such as carbon fiber, prepregs, and honeycombs to improve blade performance.
