SABP Reprographics, originally known as Santa Ana Blue Print, was established in 1946 located on Sturgeon Street in downtown Santa Ana. SABP is the oldest, privately owned and operated Reprographics Company in Orange County.
Leonard Howes bought the business in 1973 and with the help of his two sons, Mark and Paul, he ran a very successful blue print company. Leonard was responsible for archiving all the Orange County Official record maps, the oldest dating back to 1841. His oldest son, Mark Howes, took over the day-to-day operations of the business in the early 80’s, and inherited the company after Leonard’s passing. Mark relocated the business in 1995 to Sky Park Circle in Irvine. The company was incorporated in 1999 under the name SABP INC.
After an arduous battle with malignant Melanoma, Mark Howes passed away in 2001. SABP is committed to helping the fight against cancer, and contributes to the American Cancer Society and “Cruisin’ for a Cure”.
Marks wife, Colleen Howes, took over the business and is still an active hands-on owner of SABP Reprographics. The company has received WBE and SBE certifications from the State of California, and the Public Utilities Commission.
In Jan of 2009 the company decided to diversify, and opened a Litigation Support division. With the successful opening of the new division, SABP Reprographics felt the need to expand. In September of 2009 SABP move to a larger and upgraded facility located near the Chamber of Commerce in Irvine, CA.
SABP Reprographics is looking forward to the future and will continue to be a service oriented, one-of-a-kind, family owned and operated business!
