Sabreliner Announces Promotions and Other Leadership Changes

March 31, 2009

Sabreliner Corporation has announced key promotions and organizational changes at its St. Louis headquarters and Southeast Missouri operations.

In support of the continuing development of opportunities for the company in the government aviation and aerospace subcontracting areas, D. J. "Jim" Meier is promoted to senior vice president, government and subcontracting services.  He previously served as vice president, government services. 

Cindy Tekeser has been promoted to director, contracts and reports to Meier.

"These moves recognize the contributions of individuals, the growth of our government and subcontracting business and the opportunities ahead for Sabreliner in such markets as commercial Learjet 30 series service and helicopter support," explains Lamoreux.

At the company's Southeast Missouri operations, more than $13 million has been invested in the last three years in technology, training and facilities expansion.  Recent organizational changes facilitate managing that growth more efficiently, while addressing the challenge of maintaining and expanding business in today's difficult economic climate, notes Lamoreux.  The new structure focuses even more strongly on customer relationships that are vital to current and future business, he adds.

Mark Weir, vice president, Ste. Genevieve operations, assumes the additional responsibilities of managing Ste. Genevieve engineering, Southeast Missouri tooling manufacturing and Ste. Genevieve facilities.

The responsibilities of Craig Anderson, senior director, quality assurance and product integrity, are expanded to include Perryville engineering and planning.

John Hampton has been promoted to director, government aircraft services, at the Perryville operation.  He is now responsible for the company's T-34, T-44, C-21 and T-39 programs. 

Sabreliner Corp. is a proven provider of a wide variety of civilian and government aviation services, as well as an acknowledged leader in aviation production support.  The company has nearly 450 employees and more than 360,000 square feet of aviation maintenance, manufacturing, processing and repair facilities at three service locations in Missouri and one in Kansas.  Its headquarters are in St. Louis.
