KEMET Kicks Off 100-Year Celebrations and Demonstrates Technologies to Address Megatrends at Electronica 2018

Interactive demonstrations for capacitors,
sensors, actuators and magnetic devices make the connection between
component technology and application needs
KEMET, a leading global supplier of electronic components, will use
Electronica 2018 to begin its 100-year celebrations. The company
will also showcase its latest technologies to address the needs of
fast moving market sectors including the Internet of Things (IoT)
and the electrification of the powertrain and other systems in
automotive. The importance of this year’s Electronica is heightened
further as it will be the first since KEMET’s acquisition of TOKIN.
Founded in 1919, KEMET has played a leading role in driving
passive component technology for many decades. The company offers
one of industry’s broadest and most advanced ranges of tantalum,
ceramic, film and electrolytic capacitors underpinned by a deep
understanding and expertise in materials science. By
encompassing TOKIN, the company also now offers complementary,
adjacent, sensing, actuator and magnetic components and
technologies.
A range of hands-on demonstrations will focus on KEMET’s latest
products for key target markets. A further interactive timeline
feature will allow visitors to experience the company’s 100-year
journey and see how much technologies have evolved in that
time.
“Electronica is an important fixture in the world electronics
industry calendar, and with its 100-year anniversary approaching,
plus the recent acquisition of TOKIN, the timing aligns with a
hugely significant time in KEMET’s history,” said Per-Olof Loof,
KEMET’s Chief Executive Officer. “Megatrends such as the IoT and
electrification and advancement towards autonomous driving in
automotive are driving the demand for the types of components and
technologies offered by KEMET. This acceleration of the
digitization of society is exciting and a challenge to be relished
by all of those participating at Electronica this year.”
