The Antwerp Diamond Bourse launched its first Antwerp Diamond Manufacturers and Traders Fair on October 16. The one-day Fair, a pilot initiative in cooperation with the other Antwerp diamond bourses, is the first local specialist event to enable the more than 1,000 Antwerp diamond manufacturers and traders to display their polished diamonds in the bourse's hall.
On November 26th, 2013 the attendance at the 2nd edition of - 'Antwerp meets Antwerp', the Antwerp Diamond Manufacturers and Trader Fair, was at a maximum with the Antwerp Diamond Bourse trading hall filled to capacity. Exhibitors expressed strong satisfaction with sales and acclaimed an extremely productive networking event.
With the Antwerp market seeing increasing demand for polished diamonds from both traditional and new markets around the world, manufacturers and traders in India and Tel Aviv have expressed interest in accessing Antwerp's polished trade.
In response, the Antwerp Diamond Bourse and its sister exchanges are planning an International Diamond Manufacturers and Traders Fair that will provide direct, streamlined access for international diamond manufacturers and traders to Antwerp's diamond market.
"Securing the future of the Antwerp Industry depends on adding value to the business of all industry stakeholders," says Antwerp Diamond Bourse President Marcel Pruwer. "The Beurs voor Diamanthandel identified a number of exciting opportunities and this is the first. It looks like we will see a succession of enterprising initiatives coming out of Antwerp in the near future."
