WINDSOR — Aerospace products maker Hexcel Corp. plans to open a plant in Windsor next year. The company supplies Vestas Wind Systems with composite materials that are used to make wind turbines. Hexcel will open its plant near Vestas' blade-making plant in Windsor, about 50 miles north of Denver. Construction of Hexcel's plant is expected to begin this month and the plant should open late next year. Hexcel chairman and CEO Dave Berges says demand for wind turbines is expected to grow now that 30 states have pushed utilities to use more renewable energy. The Stamford-Conn.-based company hasn't announced any details about how many new jobs the plant will bring.
