Kuhner AG began as the dream of one man — Adolf Kühner — who founded the company in 1949 with a deep passion for science, engineering, and precision. From a modest workshop to becoming the global leader in shaking technology, his vision was always clear: to empower researchers in their pursuit of scientific breakthroughs.

His son, Markus Kühner, carried that vision forward with heart, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Over the course of 45 years, he transformed Kuhner into a trusted global partner, known not only for the quality of its machines but for the strength of its relationships — built on trust, excellence, and shared values.

In 2025, after 45 years of exceptional leadership, Markus Kühner — CEO and driving force behind Kuhner Shaker — is preparing to pass on the baton to the next generation.
To mark this meaningful transition, Markus Kühner is proud to launch the Kuhner Science Fund, endowed with 1,000,000 Swiss Francs. This initiative serves as both a personal farewell and a lasting gesture of gratitude, reflecting a lifelong commitment to science and innovation.

With this transition, Kuhner enters a new chapter. Laura, eldest daughter of Markus Kühner, steps in as the new CEO — representing the third generation of family leadership. With fresh energy and the same passion in her DNA, Laura is guiding Kuhner into the future while honoring the values that have shaped the company since day one.

At Kuhner, the company does more than build machines. It builds lasting partnerships. Kuhner takes the time to understand the science, challenges, and ambitions of its clients — providing solutions that help them move faster, go further, and achieve more.

Together, we move science forward — one shaker at a time.
