Tektronix To Shift
North Portland Unit to
Beaverton Campus
W ilsonville, O regon - Tektronix
Test & M easurement G roup, located in
Beaverton,O regon, announced today it
has decided not to renew its lease for a
small manufacturing operations housed
at the Cascade Business Center in North
Portland.
Tektronix will transfer all 36 em
ployees from North Portland to its main
test and measurem ent equipm ent o p
eration in Beaverton. Those employees
will be eligible for a temporary trans
portation allowance to help in their
transition. Tektronix decided to move
the small unit as part o f a com pany
wide space consolidation effort, ac
cording to Richard S. Hill, Vice Presi
dent, Test and M easurement Group.
The lease on the 14,000-square-
foot facility, located at 4106 North
Vancouver Avenue, expires in O cto
ber. Tektronix has leased the site since
1987. Tektronix engineers and m anu
factures its smallest line o f hand-held
oscilloscopes at the facility.
“The plant has been a successful
and efficient operation. It has been a
proud part o f our history, but market
forces compel us to change,” Hill says.
“Tektronix has excess manufacturing
capacity and that excess capacity is a
competitive disadvantage. Some of that
space is leased,” Hill noted. “Our strat
egy is to elim inate leased space when
ever possible.
Tektronix is a leading m anufac
turer of electronic products and systems
in the areas of test and measurement,
com puter graphics and television sys
tems. Revenues in Fiscal 1992 totaled
$1.3 billion from worldwide sales.
Christmas In July For

wrapped up its 4th o f July canned food
drive for FISH Em ergency Services
this week by delivering the cans of fruit
and jars o f peanut butter collected
through their 4th o f July picnic and

The Church had turned their cel
ebration of A m erica’s 216th year of
freedom into a chance to collect d o
nated foods for the Southeast Portland

Through media announcem ents and
handouts, the Church let those who
would be attending a4 th o f July activity
at W illamette Park know to bring their
canned food to the C hu rch ’s location at
the park which was m arked by a six foot
tall volcano.
“ We had a better turn out than we
first expected considering it w asn’t the
most pleasant of w eather conditions
that m orning,” stated Gwen Mayfield,
sp o k e sp e rso n fo r th e C h u rc h o f
Scientology Celebrity Centre in dow n
town Portland. “W e were glad at the
response at the picnic and the over
whelming am ount o f donations that
came in days after the event,” Mayfield
continued. “FISH was very happy at the
result as w ell.”
The Church delivered more than
170 pounds of food, m ostly cans of fruit
and jars of peanut butter as requested by
FISH. For more information on how
you can co n trib u te, contact G w en
