Kern Laser Systems was founded in 1982 by Gerald Kern with the main objective to design and manufacture top-quality industrial laser-cutting and laser-engraving machines to meet demanding production schedules. Kern Laser Systems started by supplying motion systems for the existing computerized rotary engraving machines. As the sealed CO2 lasers became commercially available, Kern incorporated its motion package with the laser, developing a complete turnkey laser cutting and engraving solution. Kern’s vision has always been to manufacture laser systems that will fit the customer’s needs at an affordable price with the versatility to suit a variety of industries. Today, Kern Laser Systems is proudly owned and operated by the first and second generations of the Kern family. Our goal moving forward is to constantly improve our products, improve processing times, and continue to offer our customers the best customer service in the laser industry.
