The Kern Group is pleased to announce the acquisition of Müller Apparatebau GmbH, based in Kranzberg near Munich. This merger aims to bring an unbeatable product portfolio to the market by combining the strengths of both companies.

Unbeatable Product Portfolio

By combining the advanced technologies and extensive expertise of both companies, a product portfolio is created that is unparalleled in the industry. Kern contributes its expertise in high-performance inserting systems for high to very high production volumes, while Müller brings its leading solutions for medium to high production volumes. Together, we offer a wide range of systems and solutions on a unified platform that meets the highest standards, enhancing efficiency and productivity across various customer segments.

Combined Strengths

The collaboration will allow for the optimal use of resources and synergies, with Müller expanding its existing production of standard components and providing production space that is currently lacking at the Konolfingen/Switzerland site. Robert Fortmeier, owner of Müller Apparatebau GmbH, will take a financial stake in Kern AG. He will also join the Board of Directors, bringing his extensive market knowledge in mechanical engineering to strengthen the 5-member panel.

Outlook: Hunkeler Innovationdays

Customers, prospects, partners, and industry media can look forward to our joint exhibition at the Hunkeler Innovationdays, taking place from February 24–27, 2025, in Lucerne. There, we will present the enhanced product portfolio to a broad audience.
