Bowne Printing Company, and the
construction of the the Bowne Printing
facility in South Bend. He noted that
Jerry Christensen has been in South Bend
for almost a year overseeing the start of
this project.
Mr. Christensen stated that he has been
with the company for approximately one
year. He stated that Bowne Printing
Company was started in 1775, near New
York. Today, Bowne Printing Company
has annual sales of $400 million. They
have 4,000 employees in twelve
countries.
Mr. Christensen stated that Bowne
Printing Company is the world's largest
financial printer. The South Bend facility
will be dedicated to printing IPO
documents; l OK documents; and Mutual
Fund records.
Mr. Christensen stated that most of the
printing work will come out of Chicago
or the East Coast. He stated that the
groundbreaking ceremony will take place
on July 24, 1997. Construction will start
August 1, 1997. The completion date is
anticipated to be May 1998. He noted

He also stated that the building will have
precast walls with a flat roof, and will be
very nicely landscaped.
The equipment, which is the bulk of the
investment, will be installed over a period
of five (5) years. In the first year, Bowne
Printing expects to spend approximately
$4 - $5 million on basic equipment. In
the second year, approximately $1
million. In the third year, approximately
$1 million. In the fourth year,
approximately $4 million. And, in the
fifth year, they expect to spend another $1
million on equipment.
Mr. Christensen stated that the printing
business is a very good and profitable
business. He stated that they expect to
start hiring individuals in the first quarter
of 1998. They will bring in individuals
from all over the country. They plan to
do a lot of local hiring and training. Mr.
Christensen stated that the reason Bowne
Printing Company chose South Bend to
construct one of their facilities is because
South Bend is close to their market. He
also stated that South Bend has great
transportation including good truck
transportation to the East and West
Coasts.
Mr. Faccenda asked Mr. Christensen
when he stated that the work comes from
Chicago and New York, did he mean that
the work is generated in those two

locations and printed in South Bend. Mr.
Christensen stated that is correct.
Ms. Kolata noted that this is an expansion
of Bowne Printing Company rather than a
relocation.
Mr. Hunt asked where the equipment is
manufactured. Mr. Christensen stated
that the printing equipment is
manufactured in Germany. He also stated
that there are three basic departments.
The prep department which uses printing
equipment, which comes from Germany,
that prepares the words for printing. The
press department which has the large
press machines that come from both
Germany and the United States. He noted
that probably most of the models that
Bowne Printing Company purchases
come from the United States. The
stitching department has the stitcher
machines which come from Switzerland.
He also noted that the material handling
equipment probably will come from Yale
or a local company.
Upon a motion by Ms. Auburn, seconded
by Mr. Donoho and carried, the
Commission approved the Addendum to

Area.
Ms. Kolata noted that this Quit Claim
Deed is for a small, 30 ft. wide property
along the north edge of the property. She
also noted that the main Deed for this
property has already been recorded and is
subject to the terms of the Contract. She
also stated that this is a supplemental
piece of land. She noted that the Deed for
this 30 foot parcel was never recorded
because at that time the start of

involving slitting, leveling, pickling,
temper rolling, and shearing. In
connection with the production
operations, the company takes substantial
positions in steel and steel products for
the future marketing and sale of the same
to its customers. Their lastest project
calls for the construction of between
60,000 and 100,000 square feet of
building additions to add additional
manufacturing, warehousing, and related
space to the company's current facilities.
The total construction cost is estimated to
be between $1,400,000 and $2,300,000.
Along with the additional floor space,
new manufacturing equipment to process
steel coils and sheets will be added at an
estimated cost of between $1,00,000 and
$2,000,000.
Per the petition, it is estimated that this
project will create five (5) new permanent
full -time jobs in the first year
representing an annual payroll of
$120,000 and will maintain three hundred
and ninety -three (393) existing permanent
full -time and part-time jobs with an
annual payroll of $14,305,600. A review
of the tax abatements previously granted
finds that Steel Warehouse Co., Inc. and
A &F Realty and Steel Warehouse of
Indiana, Inc. have been granted several
previous real and personal property tax
abatements. Steel Warehouse Co., Inc.
and A &F Realty and Steel Warehouse of

Indiana, Inc. are in compliance with the
reporting requirements for the previous
abatements. The building commissioner
has reviewed the petitions and finds the
property to be properly zoned for the
proposed uses.
A review of the tax abatement
designation areas finds that the property
is not located in an area presently
designated as a Tax Abatement Impact
Area, however, the review finds that the
property is located in a Redevelopment
Blighted Area and the Urban Enterprise
Zone. A review of the Redevelopment
designation areas finds that the property
is located in the Sample -Ewing
Development Area, which is a Tax
Incremental Allocation Area, therefore,
the petitions first require the approval of
the South Bend Redevelopment
Commission. A review of the Tax
Abatement Ordinance finds that Steel
Warehouse Co., Inc. and A &F Realty and
Steel Warehouse of Indiana, Inc. meet the
qualifications for a ten (10) year real
property tax abatement, and meet the
qualifications for a five (5) year personal
property tax abatement.
Using the estimated project cost of $1.4
million, real property taxes generated
over ten years are estimated to total
approximately $670,835. Taxes abated
over ten years total approximately

$332,063. Taxes still paid with the
abatement total approximately $338,772.
Mike Beitzinger stated that if the project
cost reaches $2,300,000, real property
taxes generated over ten years are
estimated to total approximately
$1,102,087. Taxes abated over ten years
total approximately $545,533. Taxes still
paid with abatement total approximately
$556,772.
Jerry Lerman stated that the equipment is
needed by Steel Warehouse to maintain
its level of competitiveness in an
increasingly competitive industry. He
stated that many years ago, when Steel
Warehouse Company, Inc. started
applying for tax abatements, they were
facing a market structure that primarily
consisted of privately held companies like
Steel Warehouse. He stated that many
years later, Steel Warehouse is faced with
publicly held companies.
He stated that many of the publicly held
companies have access to capital that
Steel Warehouse doesn't have access to
and that many of the companies are
multi - geographic companies. He noted
that Steel Warehouse is primarily located
in South Bend.
Jerry Lerman stated that Steel Warehouse
is far from the largest company in this

particular industry; but they are the
largest company in their industry in a
single location. He felt that Steel
Warehouse's success and growth is due to
the fact that they maintained a
competitive edge by continuing to be on
the cutting edge of modernization with
their equipment. Their current project
relates to additional space that Steel
Warehouse hopes will be neccessary by
virtue of improving productivity of their
equipment. That determines the rate of
the personal property investment which
Steel Warehouse intends to make.
He stated that their largest single
investment which is the $600,000
component of their #4 leveling machine,
which is a large plate line having the
capability of leveling and shearing light
plates.
Jerry Lerman stated that when the
company started this line in 1993 - `94,
only Steel Warehouse and one other
company had this capability. Presently
there are approximately 7 or 8 of these
machines. He also noted that these
machines are being installed at a very
rapid rate. To maintain a level of
competitiveness in this business, which is
growing rapidly, Steel Warehouse really
believes that they must improve their
productivity.

Jerry Lerman stated that the real property
tax abatement for the proposed addition is
to accommodate the increase of
productivity that Steel Warehouse needs.
Ms. Auburn asked what kind of products
are Steel Warehouse's steel used to
manufacture. Jerry Lerman stated that the
major industries that their steel is used in
are the automotive industry, truck
industry, trailer industry, and the
appliance industry.
Ms. Schwartz asked where does Steel
Warehouse's steel come from. Jerry
Lerman stated that their steel comes from
a varieties of dometic and foreign
sources. He stated that the heavy gauges
primarily come from an area around
Chicago, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. Ms.
Scwartz asked if the steel comes by
railroad or truck. Jerry Lerman stated
that the equipment comes by both railroad
and truck.
