IDI participates at IIJS 2013

The India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) in Mumbai in August once again has an important Israeli presence. An Israel Diamond Pavilion, organised by the Israel Diamond Institute Group of Companies (IDI), include eight Israeli companies.

This is the fifth time that IDI has organised a national pavilion at the show and interest is growing every year. Since exhibition space at the show is limited, many Israeli companies who would like to join the show were not able to. IDI has given up its own space in the booth to make way for an additional company.

The companies exhibiting are: AG Diamond Direct Ltd., Hausman Diamond Manufacturers, Julius Klein – Eliaz Diamonds, ShlomoBichachi Diamonds Ltd., Sorum Diamonds, Regent Diamonds Ltd., Sahar-Atid Diamonds Ltd. and Vulcan & Co.

IDI Chairman MotiGanz said that Israel and India have a great deal in common – in terms of business outlook, culture and values. “Both countries have important diamond industries, with long history and tradition. They are also two of the world’s leading diamond centers. Israel and India can complement each other in both manufacturing and trading,” he said.

IDI Managing Director Eli Avidar said that the Israeli Diamond Industry views the Indian diamond sector as an important strategic partner. “IDI is committed to enhancing Israel’s trade connections with the Indian diamond industry. We look forward to working closely with our Indian colleagues to expand and deepen these ties,” he said.
