Fluor (NYSE: FLR) executives, accompanied by French government
officials, participated recently in the project initiation ceremony of
Hexcel Corporation’s (NYSE: HXL) new carbon fiber plant located in
Roussillon, southern France.
The facility will produce aerospace certified polyacrylinitrile (PAN)
and carbon fiber, the advanced composite material required for the
production of the world’s latest generation of wide-body aircraft.
Fluor completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase and is
presently executing engineering/design and procurement for the facility,
so that construction can begin later this year. Fluor is also
responsible for construction management of the plant, which is expected
to be completed in 2017.
“Fluor congratulates Hexcel on this significant milestone and looks
forward to continue working with the company across the globe,” said Tom
Hendricks, vice president of Fluor’s Industrial Services business and
president of the company’s French entity. “Our significant previous
Hexcel project experience as well as Fluor’s extensive track record in
Europe will be fully utilized to enhance project delivery throughout the
life of the project.”
