The power of our team
"Where others stop, we are just getting started."
The following applies to our work: where others stop, we just start. We are often the last port of call for our customers after failed repair attempts. That's why it's all about finding unconventional solutions that don't fit the mold of quick spindle repairs on the market.
The outstanding analytical and technical skills of the KERN crew and the unique knowledge of company founder Markus Kern come together with one goal: to offer customers an innovative solution that precisely meets their individual needs. One that goes beyond what is usually feasible.
KERN employees have perfection in their blood and an eye for detail in the micrometer range. This is also required, because we can only guarantee the long-term satisfaction of our customers through the most precise work - and this is the key to our success.
The story behind KERN GmbH
More than 30 years of practical manual experience with spindles as well as in-depth knowledge of spindle technology and the symbiosis with the machine environment ensure that Managing Director and company founder Markus Kern advises his customers with the highest level of expertise and great passion. Kern, who is regarded as one of the pioneers of spindle full-service consulting, not only studied the subject intensively for decades, he also played a key role in developing the spindle failure analysis in the 1990s in collaboration with Swiss manufacturers and universities.
Even as a young spindle technician, Markus Kern was eager to get the maximum performance potential out of every spindle he repaired. After a further 10 years of practical technical experience with spindle repairs, he realized his long-standing vision: This - at the time an unknown concept that has since become established worldwide - is based on offering customers support where it was previously lacking: directly on site.
At that time, the topic of on-site spindle consulting was still in its infancy. Markus Kern was looking for a more holistic solution to adapt spindles more ideally to their operating conditions in the machine. Instead of just repairing the spindle without a concept and accepting recurring failures, he wanted to uncover the actual causes of failure and thus put an end to constant spindle failures.
KERN customers therefore rely on the highest level of experience on the market and rely on a major partner of international corporations.
Progress drives us forward
In order to meet the constantly increasing requirements in the spindle and machine environment, we are never satisfied with the status quo, but are always researching better solutions for our customers.
Our technicians and managers delve deep into the customer's problems and work together to develop solution-oriented measures. Our employees are also constantly expanding their know-how in intensive training sessions with technology experts.
Our efforts pay off: in 2008, we were awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification, proving that we meet the highest quality standards in the industry .
A key component in ensuring this quality is the detailed documentation procedure for all repair work on the spindle. This is sent to the customer as a report once all repair work has been completed. This means that all steps and cost centers on the spindle can be traced with the utmost transparency.
At the same time, our central data management system enables us to access the full history of each spindle at any time. This allows us to make evaluations of long-term reasons for spindle failure, advise our customers accordingly and take improvement measures into account in future repairs.

Excellent support and partnership
The spindle can only run flawlessly if every single part functions smoothly. To achieve this, we invest in the best suppliers who manufacture precision assemblies and individual spare parts for installation in the spindle, restore the precise functionality of components and enable original parts to be sourced at short notice.
