KERN & SOHN: PROFESSIONAL MEASURING since 1844

The KERN brand has stood for precision and reliability for 180 years. With over 5,000 products, the family business offers a comprehensive range of scales, microscopes and measuring devices, supplemented by specialized software and services. Company founder Gottlieb Kern built the most precise scales of his time in Baden-Württemberg in 1844. Since then, Germany's oldest precision scale factory has developed into a powerful full-service provider of measurement and weighing technology.

The broad spectrum of KERN medical technology ranges from beginner-friendly scales and microscopes for everyday use in practices and hospitals to highly specialized variants, for example for laboratories. For all products, KERN attaches great importance to user-friendly, intuitive operation - to relieve the workload of specialist staff and for the benefit of patients.
