Welcome Progress
by Bill Snyder
The Willamette Room was
buzzing with excitement as about
three dozen people, including the
Mayors of Eugene and Spring
field, gathered to welcome and
acknowledge two new businesses
and one existing (and expanding)
local business. Billed as the first
Quarterly Business Profile, the
event was held last Tuesday noon
at the Valley River Inn. Sponsored
by the Eugene-Springfield Metro
Partnership, an umbrella organi
zation of area economic de
velopment groups, the luncheon
promised good news.
As people were arriving some
attention was given to that morn
ing's Oregonian which carried a
story naming Eugene-Springfield
as one of two sites under construc
tion by Van Duyn Chocolate for
its new $5 million plant and head
quarters. But it was the successes
at hand, not the "birds" still in the
bush, that this group had come to
celebrate.
Corac Ink was the first new
business welcomed. Founded by
Charles Daily in 1982, with a used
mill and an old mixer in a rented
building, Corac Ink today owns a
16,000 square foot building in
Paramount, CA, and is making a
$250,000 investment in an existing
11,000 square foot building near
Mahlon Sweet Airport. The Para
mount plant employs 20 people
and will see in excess of $2 million
in sales this year. Daily feels that
our area is perfect for his com
pany, adding that the graphic arts
printing industry in the Pacific
Northwest generates hundreds of
millions of dollars each year.
Corac Ink specializes in offset
web heatset, offset sheetfed and
metal decorative (beverage cans)
inks. In conjunction with Flexo
graphic Ink Co., Corac also offers
a line of corrugated inks. Flexo
graphic Ink president Jim Smith is
also considering relocating his
California-based firm to the area.
North Pacific Security was es
tablished in Coos Bay in 1982.
Providing security patrol, investi
gation and consulting services,
owner Dan Stover presently
employs 45 people with 15 in Eu
gene-Springfield. The firm serves
Georgia-Pacific and the Port of
Coos Bay, and other commercial
and industrial customers.
Each of these new firms repre
sent continued evidence of entre
preneurship "sprouting" in Lane
County. These small, young
"seedlings" are part of the forest of
small businesses that make up
96% of the business in the state
and 85% of the private sector
workforce.
Atlas Cylinder with 170 em
ployees would not be classified as
a small business today, but when
this firm was started in 1944 by
Mr. E. S. Sawyer, as Sawyer Ma
chine Works, it too was a seed
ling. In its 40-year history in Eu
gene, Atlas Cylinder has grown,
filling the needs of the wood prod
ucts industry, aluminum and
other metal producers, construe
tion, off-shore oil and food hand
ling firms. The firm has a midwest
and southern plant that produce
standard cylinders while 50% of
the company's busines and all its
custom products are manufac
tured in Eugene. Among 200 cyl
inder manufacturers nationally.
Atlas is number six in gross sales.
Atlas Cylinder owner Bob Bol
ton was no stranger to the busi
ness
eon.

He serves on the Airport
Commission and assists the com
munity's business recruitment ef
forts.
In keeping with the theme of
celebrating our successes, Mayor
Brian Obie introduced the new
"IT'S WORKING" logo. The
Mayor pointed out that our com
munity was still "in the heat of
(economic) battle," and that the
"IT'S WORKING" sign would
serve to acknowledge our suc
cesses. "IT'S WORKING" will ap
pear on new buildings and other
construction sites, airport expan
sion and new companies in town.
Other signs of progress were
also recapped by Mayor Obie.
The Eugene-Springfield popula
tion is at an historic high
(146,000 + ), UO enrollment is
also up, housing sales are up
12.8%, unemployment is down,
LTD payroll figures have gone up
each of the past eight quarters,
housing, building and road con
struction is visibly at levels much
higher than recent years, and with
strong support from Springfield
Mayor Chris Larson and a
$600,000 interim loan from the Ci
ty of Eugene, airport expansion is
underway.
A final dash of good news was
added by Scott Lieuallen of the
Eugene-Springfield Convention
and Visitors Bureau. Reporting on
the continuing efforts to bring
more production arts businesses
to the area, Lieuallen announced
that Honda Motorcycle had just
completed filming three commer
cials locally and that two addi
tional filming projects were
recently confirmed. "Murder She
Wrote" will produce a one-hour
TV segment here August 8-18,
bringing 60 crew members to the
area. Mercedes-Benz will also film
a commercial on the McKenzie
beginning July 23.
Since the luncheon, it was
learned that two more businesses
will be moving into Willow Creek
Park, an industrial development
at the end of West 18th in Eugene.
