Thomas Kerner · Managing Director, third generation
Built one part at a time.
Every decade brought a new technology. What stayed is the way we work: close to the customer, careful with every tolerance, patient with people.
Walter Kerner opens a small turning shop with one lathe and one employee.
First CNC machine. Kerna starts supplying the regional machine building industry.
Second generation. New plant, first export customers in Austria and Switzerland.
Automation division founded – from single parts to complete robot cells.
Clean-room assembly and ISO 13485 certification for medical technology.
New plant with 2 MW solar roof. Energy use per part down 40 percent.
480 people, customers in 38 countries – and still family-owned.
01
Measured, not promised
Every delivery comes with its measurement report. If we can’t prove it, we don’t claim it.
02
Long relationships
Our average customer has worked with us for 14 years. Many of our people for longer.
03
Responsibility
We invest in our region, our apprentices and our energy footprint – because we plan to stay.
The people you will meet.
No anonymous account managers: the people who run Kerna are the people you talk to.
