KERN Facts & Philosophy
The foundation stone for today`s medium-sized company was laid by Gottlieb KERN in 1844 when he founded a precision workshop.

The name of our historic family-owned company stands for continuity and continuous growth.

Years of experience and a comprehensive product range are of extreme benefit to customized special wishes.

The traditional close relationship to local trade is our fast and exhaustive line to the user. Consultation, sales and service from one source is efficient and reasonably priced.

We have had a relationship with many of our dealers for decades. Our most longstanding customer has been selling KERN BALANCES successfully for more than 140 years.

The customer-friendly and efficient cooperation with the specialized trade guarantees competent and fast consultation for our customers.

The delivery range includes the complete spectrum of weighing techniques, mainly industrial balances, laboratory balances, test weights and DKD calibrations. It shouldn`t be possible to find anybody with more experience. Particularly in the medium and reasonably priced area. And this gives us strength when it comes to sturdy and uncomplicated balances.

KERN offers everything one needs - as standard.
