Kemet International Limited, based in Maidstone, Kent UK, is involved with precision lapping and polishing technology using diamond media, composite lapping plates and precision lapping and polishing machines to produce polished finishes with close tolerances. In 1998 Kemet was Britain's largest supplier and manufacturer of diamond compounds and slurries. Kemet has four divisions covering flat lapping and polishing, Tool and Die, Metallographic and Petrographic specimen preparation and Ultrasonic cleaning with aqueous media. == History == The company was formed in September 1938, initially as an importer of equipment for the aircraft industry, which included precision machinery and small tools for the fabrication of ball bearing races for gyroscopes as well as woodworking machines to help manufacture the Mosquito fighter aircraft used in World War 2. In 1953 manufacture started on a range of diamond abrasive pastes, which for the first time enabled precision components to be polished to a specified surface finish with guaranteed reproducible results. Developed in the first instance for use in the production of moulds and tools for the rapidly expanding plastics industry, as well as the precision polishing of hard materials and ceramics, diamond pastes now form just part of the Kemet product range. In the early 1970s, a series of metal/resin composite lapping plates were developed which meant that for the first time a wide range of materials, including materials of different harnesses, could be flat lapped and polished to a higher specification than was previously achievable. Shortly afterwards, a new division was set up to concentrate specifically on flat lapping using the technology of the Kemet composite plates. The result of this new venture was the introduction of a range of liquid diamond products and precision flat lapping machines developed for production lapping applications. In February 1989, Kemet International obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification for the manufacture of diamond lapping and polishing products. This was extended soon afterwards to include Kemet composite lapping plates. In 2009, Kemet International Limited won the Queens Award for Export. In 2014 Kemet International won the southern regional categories of the British Chambers of Commerce Awards 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kemet International Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
