Steel Wheels

Thanks to the steel industry’s presence in Northwest Indiana, Portage offers a very sophisticated industrial base. AmeriPlex at the Port Industrial Park, a master planned site under development since July 2000, also offers what manufacturers need for that competitive edge. In just three years, tenants include:

• The McCormick - office and distribution space accommodating 17,000 to 90,000 s.f. users

• Daimler/Chrysler - a parts distribution facility

• Tri-State Medical - a hospital supply distributor

• The Dearborn - high quality office suites built to suit from 2,000

to 10,000 s.f.

• Sheet Metals Workers - training facility and credit union for Local Union 20

• Thirty acres were acquired for the development of a manufacturing and distribution center

• Sears

• Walgreens

• Madison Center

AmeriPlex is located in the Indiana Enterprise Zone, which translates to various tax credits, state income tax exemptions and no inventory tax. It also falls in a Foreign Trade Subzone that allows companies the benefit of lower costs not only to the U.S. Customs but also to banks, insurance companies and other vendors.
