Generations
Lifelong learning with and from each other is a natural principle for our entire family. We regard it as an extraordinary and not at all self-evident opportunity to be able to run a business together with grandparents, parents and children. It’s not just family cohesion that thrives on this. The company also benefits because the experience, routine and willingness to experiment of different generations come together. Nevertheless, there is no false harmony. We don’t want to suppress differing opinions and the odd dispute.
Pulling together on the important decisions and being sure of your own freedom is part of a healthy family life and corporate culture. You can only get ahead if you not only pull together, but also in the same direction. A company history of over 100 years proves that we Kerns are a good team.
