Kern Lasers is a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art laser cutting and engraving systems. Our equipment is designed and manufactured in the USA.
Operating a factory in a small town in the Midwest certainly has advantages. Employees at Kern have the good fortune of knowing each other through work, family, sports and community activities. Bringing those relationships to the workplace combined with a great Midwestern work ethic makes for a dynamic and exciting place to work. Our quality workforce is who we are as a company for those reasons. We take pride in not only building one of the finest lasers on the market but in developing and nurturing the relationships with those who buy from us. Customers from throughout the USA and around the world who come to visit us witness firsthand the passion Kern employees have as they share their observations. A Kern laser is not just “Made in the USA”….it is made in the Midwest, in our factory, by our employees. “Dedication” at Kern Lasers is all encompassing and something we are fiercely proud of.
Founded in 1982 by Gerald Kern, Kern Laser Systems began with one 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. Nearly forty years into operations, Kern continues to adapt to evolving technology and develop innovative laser systems.
