Honoring a Legacy of Excellence in Quality Painting and Community Impact

Dean Baldwin Painting LP, a leading aircraft painting company in North America, proudly commemorates 25 years of continuous operation in Roswell, New Mexico. Established in 1999, this milestone marks a significant achievement for the company, reflecting its growth and commitment to excellence in aircraft painting.

Barbara Baldwin, CEO of Dean Baldwin Painting LP, reminisces on the company’s beginnings in Roswell: “It was a leap of faith; but, I knew we could be successful here.” In 1999, Dean Baldwin Painting LP signed a lease with the City of Roswell to occupy a portion of a hangar left vacant by Patriot Aviation. Starting with humble beginnings and facing initial challenges, the company gradually expanded from one bay to five bays, driven by Barbara’s vision of establishing a reputation based on consistent high-quality paint jobs.

Prior to 1999, Dean Baldwin Painting LP operated through mobile crews, without a dedicated facility. The decision to establish a permanent base in Roswell marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history, enabling it to assert independence and secure a foothold in the aircraft painting industry.

Skywest Airlines, having already experienced Dean Baldwin Painting’s capabilities, played a crucial role as its first customer at the Roswell facility.  Their partnership during the early years was instrumental in validating the company’s commitment to quality and service excellence.

Over the past 25 years, Dean Baldwin Painting LP has expanded its footprint across North America, with corporate office in Bulverde, Texas and facilities in Peru, Indiana, and Macon, Georgia; in addition to its 165,000 square foot facility in Roswell, NM. The company’s growth underscores its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the aviation industry while upholding the highest standards of aircraft painting and maintenance.

As Dean Baldwin Painting LP celebrates this significant anniversary, the company looks forward to continuing its legacy of excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction in the years ahead.
