MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI) has announced a significant change in its corporate name to MKS Inc., effective May 16, 2025. This change is a reflection of the company's evolution from its founding in 1961 as an industrial instruments company to its current position as a provider of a broader range of technology solutions.

Since its founding, MKS has expanded and entered new markets through organic growth from investment in research and development and strategic acquisitions. The company's new name, MKS Inc., better represents its current and future business as a provider of not only industrial instruments but also world-class subsystems, systems, process control solutions, and specialty chemicals technology.

The company's stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under its current symbol "MKSI," and the name change will have no effect on MKS’ corporate structure or the names of any of its subsidiaries.
