ORANGEBURG, N.Y., March 10, 2011 – Chromalloy announced today that Paul Dolan has been named Director of Military Affairs, responsible for leading the company’s strategy for growth in military aircraft engine aftermarket services.

“Paul brings extensive industry leadership experience to this critical growth area for Chromalloy,” said Tom van der Linden, Vice President, Aerospace Sales. “The company currently has more than $1 billion in U.S. military engine service contracts – and we intend to grow this segment to meet increasing demand for advanced repair solutions and High Pressure Turbine blades and vanes.”

Dolan joined Chromalloy in 2010 as KC-10 Program Director, leading the company’s production, supply chain and overall service performance as part of the KC-10 Extended Logistic Support Program team for the U.S. Air Force.

The company recently completed its first program year of that nine-year contract, meeting all U.S. Air Force scheduled milestones and engine performance improvement targets. “In this cautionary budget environment for military programs, the engine parts and advanced repairs Chromalloy provides – the same safe, reliable commercial solutions used by airlines for years – can quickly save millions of dollars,” Van der Linden said.

Dolan previously was Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Avioserv, an aviation material sales and engine leasing company. He was responsible for global sales, acquisitions and leasing of commercial aircraft engines and engine materials. He led the company from being a broker and dealer to a worldwide brand for engines and material services.

Prior to that he co-founded Western Solar, a San Diego based renewable energy producer of photovoltaic technologies.

Dolan began his career as an F/A-18 fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree with distinction in mechanical engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy, a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a M.B.A. from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. Chromalloy is the world’s largest independent supplier of technologically advanced repairs, coatings, and FAA-approved replacement parts for turbine airfoils and other critical engine components for commercial airlines, the military and industrial turbine engine applications.

The company’s engineered components and blades are subject to the same FAA requirements and scrutiny as OEM-produced equipment.

Chromalloy’s replacement parts for aircraft engines are FAA certified to meet or exceed the performance, reliability and durability specifications of original equipment manufacturer parts. In support of marine and land-based gas turbines, the company employs identical engineering disciplines used to produce its FAA-certified parts. Chromalloy serves military, commercial and industrial turbine engine operators worldwide with 52 operations, annexes and sales offices in 17 countries.
