Kern-Liebers Textiles
4 specialists working together
as one global player
ITMA Asia + CITME 2012
Customers of the Kern-Liebers Group benefit
from the unique expertise of a large, globally
active company. More than 6,000 employees in
over 50 subsidiaries worldwide are working to
develop customer-oriented individual solutions
that meet the most rigorous technical require-
ments.
Established as a dedicated business unit in
1999, Kern-Liebers Textiles has since grown
steadily. The acquisition of Saxonia Textile Parts
GmbH, the Bavarian needle plate manufacturer
Paul Leistner GmbH and SächsischeNadel- und
Platinenfabriken GmbH laid the foundation for
its subsequent growth, a development comple-
mented by the acquisition of the German needle
manufacturer Haase and Kühn. Company devel-
opment in recent years has been rapid, particu-
larly in the needle sector.
Under the umbrella brand Kern-Liebers
Textiles, a corporate network that is capable of
meeting the widest range of requirements within
the textile industry has been created. Through
its rapid expansion, the company has steadily
evolved into an expert in the field of knitted
fabric technology and has emerged a full-line
supplier to the market.
In addition to needles, Kern-Liebers also offers
a complete range of components for knitting and
warp knitting machines and products for tenter-
ing frames and combing machines. The range of
products includes more than 55,000 needles and
sinkers.
The Kern-Liebers Textiles Group now em-
ploys more than 1,150 people around the world.
The Kern-Liebers Group can look back over
a long history. Founded in 1888 by Hugo
Kern in Schramberg, Germany, the company
initially manufactured springs for the watch
and clock industry. Since then, the product
range has expanded and now covers springs
made from wire and steel strip, fine-blanked
and stamped parts, as well as needles and
sinkers for the textile industry.
