Located in the Shephelah between Be'er Ya'akov and Ness Ziona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gezer Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 534.
The kibbutz was named Netzer Sereni after Enzo Sereni, a Jewish Italian resistance fighter. Sereni was one of the founders of Givat Brenner.
Kibbutz Netzer Sereni was founded by holocaust survivors. It was first called Kibbutz Buchenvald after the concentration camp which many of its founders where there. The name was changed later to NETZER by the "Buchenvald" members. In 1955 there was a national political separation producing a split between the "Mapam" Party and the "Mapai" Party (two labor parties). The Mapai members of Kibbutz Givat Brener moved to Kibbutz Netzer and added the name Sereni.
