At our headquarters in Steckborn, Switzerland, we can trace our tradition back to the company's founding over 120 years ago.

When Karl Friedrich Gegauf invented the sewing machine that performed openwork stitching in 1893 after many years of painstaking work, he had no idea that his mechanical workshop would turn into a global enterprise.

The precision and innovativeness for which Switzerland is famous have led the family business to the point where BERNINA is now active in more than 60 markets worldwide. Although much has changed in 125 years, BERNINA has always remained a family business, and by now the 5th generation is bringing in new ideas.
