In April 2017, KEMET purchased a 61% controlling interest, making Tokin its wholly owned subsidiary. Once the purchase was complete, the company changed its name to "TOKIN Corporation".

KEMET offers NEC TOKIN’s electronic component products including supercapacitors, inductors, relays, flex suppressors, EMI cores and AC line filters. KEMET Electronics Corporation has entered into two agreements with NEC TOKIN: a Development and Cross Licensing Agreement and an Amended and Restated Private Label Agreement.

Jun 15, 2020 In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, Yageo has acquired all of the outstanding shares of KEMET's common stock for US $27.20 per share in an all-cash transaction with an equity value of approximately US $1.6 billion. As a result of the transaction, KEMET is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yageo, and KEMET's common stock is no longer listed on any public market. TOKIN became part of Yageo Corporation. TOKIN Corporation, a subsidiary of Yageo, is a leading manufacturer of passive electronic components. Founded in 1938, the firm's global headquarters is located in Shiroishi, Japan. The company employs almost 4,500 people worldwide and has facilities in China, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.
