Vernier 30th Anniversary Party at Salishan
Over 90 employees and their families enjoyed two nights on the Oregon coast to celebrate Vernier’s 30th anniversary. We shared a dinner, watched a photo slideshow, danced to a live band, and enjoyed a surprise appearance by our own Sonny and Cher singing “We Are Vernier.”
Vernier Goes Backpacking
On September 6th, 20 Vernier employees packed backpacks with school supplies for Schoolhouse Supplies. Our eager team packed 427 backpacks with pouches, folders, rulers, spiral notebooks, pencils, and crayons donated by Vernier Software & Technology.
All the backpacks then were delivered to Creston Elementary in Portland, Oregon to start the students off to a new year with the supplies they’ll use to learn, grow, and succeed.

This summer, 42 international representatives from 25 countries and six continents visited Vernier headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. The three days they were here were spent learning more about Vernier products, learning how other countries market Vernier products, and seeing some of Oregon!
The LabQuest mascot shown was created by our South Korean representative. Vernier products can be found in 138 countries around the world. For more information, go to www.vernier-intl.com
