Construction begins on new Hexcel center
of research & technology excellence in Utah
Once completed in late 2022, the 100,000-square-foot building
will be home to a state-of-the-art laboratory where company
scientists and researchers will collaborate with customers
on the latest composite technology developments
for aerospace, space and defense, and industrial applications. It
will be the company's largest center for innovation and product
development in North America and a showcase for the company's
advanced composites technology, providing space for future
growth and expansion in the years ahead. Th e company
expects to add up to 150 jobs at the center over the next 12 years.

Chinese giant glass fi bre producers are betting on Middle East
Glass fi bre colossus China Jushi has invested another US$
335 million in Egypt to extend its annual production capacity
with 120,000 tons of glass fi bre products and expand raw
material processing facilities, which fully demonstrates its
confi dence in Egypt's investment and operating environment.
Established in January 2012, Jushi Egypt previously celebrated
the completion of a production base of 200,000 tons of glass
fi bre in the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade
Cooperation Zone in August 2018.
Th is further commitment in Egypt comes as the operating
income of Jushi Egypt in 2020 will account for approximately
34% of the Jushi Group's foreign operating income, according
to Tonghuashun Financial Research Center. Th e data center
also underlines that China Jushi's 2020 annual report shows
that foreign countries accounted for 32% of total revenue.
Chongqing International Composites Co., Ltd. (CPIC), is
another Chinese major glass fi bre producer active in Middle
East. In 2013, CPIC acquired 60% of Abahsain Fiberglass
M.E., W.L.L. (AFG) in Bahrain and established CPIC
Abahsain Fiberglass Company.
CPIC Abahsain Fiberglass Company currently produces more
than 100,000 tons of glass fi bre products annually, serving
more than 800 customers in 60 countries around the world.
CPIC Abahsain Fiberglass Company recently announced that
its F01B line was successfully ignited and resumed production.
Previously suspended due to the expiration of the furnace, the
Bahrain F01B line can now quickly increase the production
capacity of glass fi bre, eff ectively guaranteeing the supply
of overseas markets, especially the EU, India and Turkey.

Toray Advanced Materials Korea has
acquired a prepreg factory in Qingdao, China
Toray Advanced Materials Korea (TAK) is expected to enter the carbon
fi ber composite material market in earnest by securing the prepreg
business. TAK, a subsidiary of Japan's Toray and Korea's largest carbon
fi ber maker, plans to acquire SK Chemicals' prepreg projects in Ulsan,
Korea and Qingdao, China, for about 30 billion
won (€ 22 million) and building the largest annual
scale of 16 million square meters. SK Chemicals is a
Korean chemical and life sciences company founded
in 1969. SKYFLEX is SK Chemicals' exclusive
brand for prepregs and reinforcements for concrete structures. With this acquisition,
TAK has acquired the brand SKYFLEX accordingly. Th rough the
deal, TAK plans to achieve vertical integration from carbon fi ber raw materials
to prepreg intermediate materials by expanding its supply chain at home
and abroad.
