Company To Add New Paint Facility
Expansion plans at Sabreliner Corporation could lead to the
creation of up to 400 new jobs over the next four years. The
Thusday announcement coincided with the recent groundbreaking of
the company's newest aircraft stripping and painting facility in
Perryville, MO, where the company plans to provide services to more
and larger aircraft.
"Sabreliner specializes in enhancing the value of existing
aviation assets," said Pat Finneran, company president. "As both
the private sector and government look for ways to hold down costs,
the demand for our services grows. And that's a trend we expect to
continue for the foreseeable future."
The new 27,000-square foot facility and state-of-the-art hangar
will house stripping and painting operations for aircraft as large
as Gulfstream jets, while still providing inspection and
rehabilitation services for military and commercial jets,
propeller-driven planes and helicopters. Construction on the new
facility is expected to be complete in nine to 11 months.
However, additional stripping and painting operations are only
one facet of the company's overall expansion plans. In addition to
the new jobs those operations will create, Sabreliner also expects
to add engineers, finance specialists and aircraft mechanics.
"A well-trained and well-paid workforce is part of our
competitive advantage at Sabreliner," Jim Meier, Sabreliner's
senior vice president. "Our goal is to create and maintain a
culture of excellence. We aim to be among America's best places to
work."
