KERN Scale

KERN & SOHN is a venerable German manufacturer of precision weighing equipment, founded in the mid-19th century by Gottlieb Kern. The brand has built a global reputation for accuracy and reliability, particularly in laboratory, industrial, and medical sectors. While their high-end precision instruments and specialized measurement technology are largely designed and engineered in Germany, they maintain a diverse manufacturing footprint that includes facilities in Germany and strategic production partners in China to serve various price points and global markets.

Today, KERN is recognized as one of the oldest precision scale manufacturers in the world. The company remains a medium-sized, family-owned enterprise that has successfully transitioned from mechanical fine-balance production to digital sensor technology. Their products range from industrial platform scales and medical floor scales to highly sensitive laboratory balances used in scientific research.
