Dean Baldwin Painting LP. Donates to the Local University Unlike the hundreds of other aircraft that Dean Baldwin Painting LP will paint this year for the major airlines, this recently painted aircraft will never fly again. Yet this B727 is every bit as important as any of the aircraft painted for the major airlines. The B727 aircraft was painted for the Eastern New Mexico University- Roswell at no cost to the University and will become an important tool for training future aircraft mechanics. The aircraft was donated to the school some 6 years ago to be used as a training aide; but, had not been used by the school in part because the Fed Ex logo had not been painted away which was a condition of the donation. When Jim Burress, General Manager of Dean Baldwin Painting's Roswell facility learned of the schools dilemma, he discussed the situation with Barbara Baldwin, CEO of Dean Baldwin Painting LP. "When Jim brought the University's need to my attention I agreed without hesitation. The students working on that plane could very well be employees at our company some day" said, Barbara Baldwin. "I am glad to help the school and I was glad to help some of our employees as well. About twenty employees needed more 'on the job training' in their records to advance to a higher job level, which awards them with a higher pay grade. So, by doing the work and recording it in their employee records they meet the criteria to advance to the next pay grade. I thought immediately, this would help both our causes." Training is an important part of the company culture at Dean Baldwin Painting. That is why supporting ENMU-R was an easy decision. Baldwin has an extensive in-house training program designed to maximize employee potential and career growth. All Dean Baldwin Painting employees who are classified as preppers and painters are placed by job levels, according to a program written and initiated by Dean Baldwin Painting. The program clearly outlines the job level requirements with goals and experience one must attain through OJT (on the job training) to advance. The ENMU-R officials recently unveiled the freshly painted B727 aircraft courtesy of the paint service specialists at Dean Baldwin Painting LP. who completed the $80,000 paint job at no cost to the school. The paint products were donated by PPG Aerospace, a global aviation paint supplier. Jim Burress was on hand to greet the students. "We're anxious for you to graduate," He told the 20 aviation students who were checking out their new plane. "We're very proud of you. Stay with it. You'll have a long future."  The ENMU-R AMT school is a 14 1/2 month long program that is the only FAA Part 147 A&P school in the southeast part of the state. Students will no longer use the Boeing B727 as a display model, but as a trainer for larger aircraft systems, fuel systems, rigging, hydraulics, brakes, tires, air-conditioning, auxiliary power unit, electrical systems and inspections. The Boeing B727 is the only large aircraft the program owns, though there are multiple smaller aircraft to practice on, including a Cessna, two Bell 47 helicopters, an Acroduster Too, a Beechcraft Model 50 and a Huey Model UH1 Helicopter. Dean Baldwin Painting, LP. Donated B727 Painting Posted on 23 July 2011 By Emily Russo Miller, The Roswell Daily Record Record Staff Writer Painting a 727 airplane typically costs about $80,000, but Dean Baldwin Painting Inc. is painting one free to benefit the Aviation Maintenance Technology program at Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell. Dean Baldwin Painting General Manager Jim Burress said that painting the Boeing 727-100, which Fed Ex donated to the school several years ago, will help ENMU-R students working toward their Federal Aviation Administration license receive hands-on training in their classes, while also helping Burress train his employees how to prime and paint aircraft. “It’s a win-win,” Burress said. “It helps the college, and it helps our employees move up (in their careers).” “We’re very grateful that they’re able to do this for us,” ENMU-R College Development Director Donna Oracion said. “We’re very pleased to have a partner like them close by, and we’re very appreciative.” The ENMU-R AMT 14½ long program is the only FAA Part 147/A&P school in the southeast part of the state.

MRO 2011 - Thank You for another Successful Conference Another Aviation Week MRO Conference has come to an end. It was very exciting for us this year as we were introducing the addition of our new facility planned to open in Indiana in 2012. The MRO Conference always proves to be a great occasion to meet up with old friends and make new ones. All of us at Dean Baldwin Painting LP would like to thank all of our friends who stopped by our booth in Miami to show interest and support of Dean Baldwin Painting and our new business expansion into Indiana. Joining us at this year’s show from the Miami County Economic Development Authority from Peru, Indiana were Jim Tidd, Christy Householder and Jim Yates (In the photo starting from the front row left : Barbara Baldwin, CEO Dean Baldwin Painting; Luis Camacho, VP of Operations Dean Baldwin Painting LP; Christy Householder, Deputy Director & Director of Business Retention MCEDA.

Dean Baldwin Painting LP Expanding its Operation to the Midwest Bulverde, Texas – Dean Baldwin Painting, LP is moving ahead with plans that will nearly double the size of the company and increase its accessibility to the East Coast. The company signed a 20 year lease with the Miami County Economic Development Authority on January 18th of this year to acquire Hangar 200 at the Grissom Aeroplex in Peru, Indiana located 65 miles north of Indianapolis. The facility will be modernized and expanded prior to its opening, planned for December of this year. The selection of the Indiana location was a long and deliberate process that included the review of strengths and weaknesses of over 20 different locations. “Our expansion plans developed over a span of 5 years.” said CEO Barbara Baldwin, “Together with my team we considered a number of great locations; but, in October of 2009 we decided the Grissom Aeroplex best suited the needs of our company and our customers.” The present hangar complex will be undergoing an estimated $10.5 million expansion and conversion to a state of the art strip and paint facility. When the expansion is complete, the facility will have two wide body and two narrow body bays and will easily accommodate aircraft as large as a B747 or A330. Grissom Aeroplex is an active Air Reserve Base with a 12,500 foot runway enabling it to land aircraft as large as a B747. The facility will run two shifts providing 24/7 coverage and plans to hire over 200 employees. “We’ve invested a great deal in our training programs over the years and we take great pride in our ability to cross train from other skills and have them move up the ladder earning $15 to $25 an hour,” explains Barbara Baldwin. The work force will be recruited primarily from the six county region of north central Indiana. “The region, with a ready work force in excess of 250,000, has a rich history of manufacturing and producing quality products,” adds Jim Tidd, Executive Director of the Miami County Economic Development Authority. The community is also home to many Community Colleges, post secondary school and vocational training institutions capable of providing training support to Dean Baldwin Painting. The local community fully supports the addition of an aerospace company to their community. “This is what we wanted,” said Rachel M. Daily, director of marketing and business attraction for the Miami County Economic Development Authority.” We are very excited about the diversification this project will bring to our region and the job opportunities that will be made available within our local economy. “The estimated economic impact of the project could be $161 million for the region within the first five years.” The Indiana location is a short hop from many of the nation’s major cities in the Eastern U.S. and Midwest such as Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Louisville, Memphis, New York, St. Louis and many more making this site ideal to support a wide array of air carriers.
