PROFILE |
 |
The first footprints on the moon didn't come from Neil Armstrong, but from Hexcel, a maker of composite materials. Back then, Hexcel made the footpads on the Apollo 11 lunar module; today the company makes advanced structural materials used in everything from aircraft components to bullet-resistant vests. Its composite materials (54% of sales) include structural adhesives and honeycomb panels used in products like helicopter blades, auto parts, snowboards, and golf clubs. Other products include fibers and fabrics used in printed circuit boards and civil engineering applications. The commercial aerospace market accounts for 50% of Hexcel's sales. An investor group led by Goldman Sachs owns 39% of the company.
