Justification and
Benefits
On 1^st November 2012 Kemet will begin the consolidation of manufacturing for all Tantalum surface
mount devices with MnO₂ counter-electrode to existing KEMET manufacturing sites in Matamoros
and Victoria, Mexico.
This change impacts all Ta SMD MnO₂ products currently manufactured in KEMET’s Evora Portugal
facility.
The consolidation of the manufacturing process in Mexico locations will allow Kemet to optimize the
resources (equipment and man-power) and provide a focal point for all requirements related to
MnO₂ technology. This consolidation allows KEMET to take the best practices from all locations
giving customers a better quality process/product.
During the transition process Kemet will provide the necessary support for the change (re-
qualification requirements, safety transition stock, …)
Effective Date
and Identification
The consolidation process starts1^st November, 2012 with effective closing date of 31^st March, 2013.
