History of KEMET
KEMET Corporation, as we know it today, was officially formed on December 21, 1990. It was originally established by Union Carbide Corporation in 1919 in Cleveland, Ohio, as Kemet Laboratories. The name "KEMET" is a blend of the words "chemical" and "metallurgy." One of KEMET’s first products was "getters," an essential element in every vacuum tube. It is estimated that over 80% of the vacuum tubes used by the Allies during World War II contained KEMET getters.
The business continued to grow and prosper until the early 1950’s when the transistor began to displace vacuum tubes in electronics. Transistors utilized another new invention, the solid tantalum capacitor, which complemented the use of low-voltage transistors (semiconductors) in electrical circuits. Since Union Carbide had experience in the fields of high-temperature metals and alloys, the solid tantalum capacitor was chosen as KEMET’s “new product” to provide the vehicle for future growth.
