Englewood, CO (PRWEB) June 26, 2005 – Brian Baldwin, founder and Vice
Chairman of Baxa Corporation, was selected as an Ernst & Young 2005
Entrepreneur of the Year in a ceremony Thursday evening at the Donald Seawell
Ballroom of the Denver Center for Performing Arts. Baldwin, the winner for the
medical and health sciences category, joined eight other award winners in six
different categories for the Rocky Mountain Region. Baxa Corporation
manufactures and markets devices used for mixing, handling and dispensing fluid
medications; including oral unit-dosing, IV admixture, syringe infusion and
multi-source solution compounding.
In his acceptance speech, Baldwin
acknowledged the company’s strong growth over its 30-year history and the
hundreds of associates whose contributions made that achievement possible. Brian
continued by thanking his wife for her continued support, noting that
“Entrepreneurs make very difficult spouses.” He also thanked sons Greg and Jeff
Baldwin, now the senior managers for Baxa Corporation, for taking on the reins
and continuing the company’s financial and operational success.
The nine
award winners were selected from nearly 100 nominations by a panel of
independent judges consisting of area leaders from business, academic and civic
organizations. These regional winners are eligible for consideration for the
national Entrepreneur Of The Year 2005 awards in Palm Springs, California in
November.
Reflecting on the achievement Greg Baldwin, Baxa Chairman and
CEO noted, “The Entrepreneur of the Year Award is a great recognition of Brian’s
outstanding leadership in product development. His focus on meeting true
customer needs led Baxa to be the market leader in our niche.” Greg continued,
“It’s great to see that focus and leadership acknowledged through an award of
such stature.”
Brian founded Baxa Corporation in 1975, with a product
designed for safe and precise administration of oral medications. He holds more
than 30 US and international patents, and continues to provide entrepreneurial
insight and developmental direction to the business thirty years later. Today,
Baxa still focuses on developing products and systems that deliver safety and
efficiency for fluid drugs as it did when it was founded.
