Extell team explains business scope at International Gem Tower, to Antwerp diamond companies

A team from Extell Development Company, the real estate developer of the new 34-story International Gem Tower (IGT), visited Antwerp recently, to interact with leaders of the Antwerp diamond business organisations, large manufacturers and other firms looking to create or expand offices in the tower. The team participated in the Antwerp Diamond Symposium and the 2009 Presidents' Meeting of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA).

IGT partner Joseph Lipton said "It was a unique opportunity to meet the global leadership of the diamond industry and Antwerp traders who have a vested interest in the American diamond, gem and jewellery market. And through our sponsorships, we had the privilege of addressing the audience at several events.”

"We have been marketing our project across the globe and have entered into a long-term relationship with the international diamond, gem and jewellery industry," Lipton added "Our past visits to Hong Kong, Israel and Mumbai made us realise that the International Gem Tower is becoming an integral part of this industry and we are making every effort to learn what the important issues are for the diamond trade, he further added.
