50 years fabricating advanced filament-wound composites 20 years building Type 4 CNG tanks

Hexagon Lincoln was the first manufacturer to certify an all-composite Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) container to the ANSI/CSA NGV2 standard. After 20 years of production, we are still the world’s largest manufacturer of Type 4 pressure vessels. Throughout the world, you’ll find our natural gas tanks in passenger and commercial vehicles, hydrogen tanks in fuel cell vehicles, accumulators in hydraulic hybrid vehicles, and riser tensioning systems for oil and gas exploration industries.

ALL COMPOSITES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

We’ve made high-pressure composite vessels for aircraft, missile, satellite, and launch vehicle programs — even NASA’s Space Shuttle.

We have the strongest design and engineering team in the industry — with combined experience in composites technology second to none.
