The Barbados Tourist Board intended to print a brochure in Germany and came up with the idea of creating an English edition to promote the beauty of the Caribbean island throughout Europe.

In the 1990s, the company expanded and extended its network of branches in Germany, United States; Switzerland, England, China and Netherlands.

Today, KERN Global Language Services operates in 8 countries, with over 40 company owned subsidiaries and branches.

The range of language services offered “under one roof” at its headquarters enables the KERN group not only to simply translate texts, but also to work on documents in their entirety – from translation, design of advertising campaigns, desktop publishing to printing and delivery of the final product.

Branches (in 2018): Aachen, Augsburg, Berlin, Bielefeld, Bochum, Bonn, Braunschweig, Bremen, Cologne, Darmstadt, Dortmund, Dresden, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt am Main (Schillerstraße), Freiburg, Friedrichshafen, Hamburg, Hannover, Heilbronn, Ingolstadt, Kaiserslautern, Karlsruhe, Kassel, Kiel, Leipzig, Mainz, Mannheim, Mönchengladbach, Munich, Münster, Nuremberg, Offenbach, Regensburg, Saarbrücken, Schweinfurt, Stuttgart, Ulm, Weil am Rhein, Wiesbaden, Wuppertal, Würzburg.
