In 1930, the Kern company began to build lathes and, thanks to the high quality of its products, very quickly achieved a significant market position and an excellent reputation, both with customers and in the mechanical engineering industry. Commercial problems, an economic slump and the loss of the sole distributing partner forced the well established leading manufacturer of lathes into insolvency in 1992. One year later, in 1993, five former Kern employees founded DMT Drehmaschinen GmbH & Co KG at Gewerbestrasse 18 in L\u00f6rrach. In the same year, the first CD 480 type lathes were sold. Due to continued ongoing development, these lathes remain one of the most-sold lathes in the DMT range. Through innovative developments and designs, the product range and the company premises expanded with great success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since production of new machines was discontinued in 2024, the company has focussed entirely on servicing and maintaining the more than 2,000 machines in operation. The dedicated team offers comprehensive services ranging from preventive maintenance and repairs to retrofitting projects and machine relocations, ensuring the longevity, precision and reliability of its customers’ machines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DMT lathes<\/strong><\/p>\n Quality, reliability and durability are the most important qualities of DMT lathes.
