Duncan Aviation has announced that when its new paint\ncomplex in Provo, Utah, opens its hangar doors this spring, the paint team will\nbe ready on day one with individual and team experience. Provo paint team\nmembers include more than a dozen experienced members of the paint teams from\nDuncan Aviation\u2019s Lincoln, Nebraska, and Battle Creek, Michigan, facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Paint Team at our Provo facility will have an average\nof 5 \u00c2\u00bd years of service on day one of operations,\u201d says Duncan Aviation\u2019s Paint\nManager Doug Bohac. \u201cAnd more than half of the new paint techs we\u2019ve hired will\nhave a minimum of six months to one year of training with our paint teams in\nLincoln before they relocate to Provo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting a new paint shop, even within an existing company,\nrequires a great deal of planning, and Bohac, along with Duncan Aviation Senior\nTalent Acquisition Specialist Jennifer Monroe have been planning and carefully\nrecruiting new and existing team members for the Provo Paint Team for a couple\nof years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the backing of the Senior Management Team, we\u2019ve\ncommitted the time and resources and assembled a strong team,\u201d says Bohac. That\nteam has been training and working together at the company\u2019s Lincoln location.\nAnd since the paint facility being constructed in Provo is very similar in size\nand layout to the Duncan Aviation paint facilities in Lincoln and Battle Creek,\nthe transition for the paint technicians will be seamless. \u201cWhen we open the\ndoors of the new paint hangar at our Provo facility, our customers will\nexperience the same downtimes, quality, and culture they have come to expect\nfrom Duncan Aviation, regardless of their location.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to use the latest technology available, the new\n53,000-square-foot paint facility will have down-draft air flow technology,\nincluding automatic monitoring and alarms. It is designed to accommodate\nmultiple aircraft at once, utilizing a two-zone airflow system. Duncan Aviation\npaint teams will be able to perform stripping, sanding, painting and detail\nwork on multiple aircraft simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the third paint facility Duncan Aviation has built\nover the last 12 years,\u201d Bohac says. \u201cThe first expanded paint capabilities at\nour Battle Creek location in 2007 and the second expanded paint capability at\nour Lincoln facility in 2014. Each construction design is similar, but takes\nadvantage of the latest technology and allows for tweaks to make work process\neven more efficient and successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This additional capacity will give Duncan Aviation the\ncapability to paint up to 225 aircraft per year, including some of the largest\nbusiness aircraft in use today like the Gulfstream 550, the Bombardier Global\nExpress and the Dassault Falcon 7X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
