IGC Group of Companies, renowned for its finest make, is breaking new ground by setting up a diamond polishing factory in Botswana. “Next to our state-of-the-art factories in Thailand and Laos we are now opening a factory in this diamond producing country” says Jacques Claes, one of the principals of IGC Group, who is overlooking the activities of this new factory.

IGC bought 10,000 square meters (100,000 square feet) in Gaborone, next to the new DTC/Debswana building, where it will construct “Zebra Diamonds”. Zebra Diamonds will be one of the most technological advanced factories in Botswana, the results of 30 years of excellent polishing in Belgium, Thailand and Laos. By July a training unit will be operational, transferring polishing expertise to new employees.

“Opening the training facility with a capacity of 120 polishers in Botswana confirms our Group's vision that manufacturing in producing countries is the future of our industry and of the Botswana people” concludes Mr. Mmoloki George, General Manager of Zebra Diamonds.
