Company History

Driesen + Kern was founded as a distributor of measuring instruments in 1977 by Hans-Hermann Driesen and Helmut Kern. Soon, the company started developing, manufacturing and marketing own products in order to best satisfy customers‘ wishes. Over the years Driesen + Kern became an important trading partner for companies from almost every industry. In 2005 Oliver Driesen assumed the management of the firm and is continuing its course of innovation and tradition combined ever since. Driesen + Kern strives to be a reliable partner and can offer many years of experience.

Measuring instruments are only as good as their instructions. That is why your measurement task and its requirements are most important for both our sales representatives and our developers right from the design or planning stage. We offer custom made solutions developed specific to your needs. After manufacturing we calibrate our products in our own calibration laboratory using the corresponding testing equipment for the respective measurands.

Over the years Driesen + Kern GmbH has become an important business partner for companies from almost all commercial and industrial sectors.

Calibration Laboratory

Our in-house calibration laboratory enables us to provide fast and efficient service for our customers, only rarely depending on external providers. This means personal consultation, sale and service from a single source.
The calibration lab offers a wind tunnel, humidity generators, oil baths for temperature, pressure calibrators as well as voltage/current calibrators. Effectively, this range of testing equipment covers our entire product portfolio.

Consultation & Training

Quality and reliability are key aspects when manufacturing products which depend heavily on miniaturised electronics and compact design. Products are not shipped without a meticulous final inspection ensuring the reliability customers seek both in our products and the company itself.

For this reason Driesen + Kern implemented a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001 in 1996 which was subsequently updated to meet the most recent standards in 2008 and 2017.

At Driesen + Kern trained engineers and service technicians ensure the best quality of consultation and service for our customers.
