Following the controversial collapse of the original business in 2000, the Akai brand is now owned by Grande Holdings in Hong Kong which distributes various electronic products such as LED TV, washing machines, clothes dryers, air conditioners and smart phones, through collaborations with other electronics companies bearing relevant expertise.

The "Akai Professional" electronic instrument division was spun off in 1999 and remains under separate ownership from that of the main "Akai" brand.
