Located for over 120 years in Steckborn, Switzerland, the BERNINA name is not occured by chance either. The company's namesake is the Piz Bernina, the only peak above 4000m (13,000 ft) in the eastern Alps. It symbolizes reaching for the highest possible goals. Thus BERNINA continues to surmount obstacles in order to deliver high performance in sewing machine technology.
