Kern AG Development, technology and quality

Kern AG has invested in quality in recent years. As we all know, quality has been a trademark of Kern AG for years. Kern systems are renowned for their durability and high-precision workmanship. Fundamental proof of this is that Kern AG has been ISO certified for many years. This means that customers can also guarantee perfect production in their own facilities.

Research and Development

Customer requirements form the basis of new ideas and technologies.
Highly qualified product developers, mechanical engineers, and specialists seek answers to the question: what are the future technologies and processes that will expedite workflows, and fulfil customer requirements?
Kern is always one step ahead of current technical developments, and sets the international benchmark in terms of creative innovation. This leading edge is ensured by our in-house development department, based in Switzerland. Customer requirements are always our priority.

Production and installation specialist

Our quality-oriented approach also determines production and installation processes. Inserting and packaging systems are developed in Switzerland, and produced to the highest quality standards available throughout Switzerland and the EU. Qualified personnel carry out the technical manufacture of all Kern systems, from automatic cutting machines, right through to highly complex packaging installations.
Efficient decision-making channels optimise the processes. Our machine park is constantly maintained to the state-of-the-art. This allows jobs to be completed on schedule and efficiently.

Kern's leading-edge technology puts you in the lead.

Kern is the leading partner in document processing, in terms of both end-to-end packaging installations and individual modules. This enables Kern to reach its overall goal: namely, that of offering customers secure and future-proof solutions. In day-to-day operation, these achieve peak capacities with low effort. The precise architecture combination of technology and software is a key quality characteristic, combined with a modern and sophisticated design.

There's a reason why our systems continue to receive prestigious industrial design awards. Assurance of such high-quality requirements can be achieved only with our key commitment: all major certifications and guidelines (such as ISO, for example) position Kern AG as the market leader.

Numerous awards and prizes also reinforce that Kern is on the right path. Kern AG’s aim is to continue to develop further, and thus remain the market leader – as tradition dictates.
