9 November 2006  

Matrix Diamond Technology, which applies patented 3-D scanner technology and other unique applications to determine the exact purity of a diamond, has been launched in Antwerp. Matrix specializes in analyzing, manufacturing and realising important rough diamonds.

The company’s dedicated, fully trained engineering team examines the rough diamonds in a unique analysis process to determine their true potential using highly advanced technology.

“The entire process marks the guidelines for polishers on the stone itself in 3-D lines allowing them to apply their skills with unprecedented accuracy,” explains Paul van Der Steen, Co-Founder and Designer of Matrix Diamonds proprietary technology.

“Matrix technology believes in working together with its clients, consulting and updating them regularly during the manufacturing process. Our state of the art, newly commissioned highly accurate measuring equipment also accelerates the manufacturing process,” adds Co-Founder and larges stone expert Ziad Al-Ahmadi. 

"This technology preserves Antwerp’s ability to offer unrivalled expertise and skills to the industry when needed. With these developments Antwerp can continue to play a key role in serving this industry with innovative technology. This is about strengthening our skills pool. In terms of the technology, Matrix is unique in the way that it speeds up the polishing process and gives perfection when polishing a rough stone,” adds Philip Claes, spokesman for the Diamond High Council (HRD).

The Diamond High Council (HRD) welcomed the launch of Matrix Diamond Technology in Antwerp today, saying the technology will bring the polishing process of diamonds, and large stones in particular, closer to perfection.

"This technology preserves Antwerp’s ability to offer unrivalled expertise and skills to the industry when needed," HRD spokesman Philip Claes said. "With these developments Antwerp can continue to play a key role in serving this industry with innovative technology.”

Antwerp is the world's largest diamond trade centre, handling approximately 80% of the world’s rough supplies. As an umbrella organisation, HRD represents an industry with more than 1.800 diamond traders and over 30.000 employees, comprising many different
nationalities who are directly and indirectly employed in the diamond trade.

Traditionally Antwerp is an important centre for diamond tenders. Last month, a 603-carat rough diamond with the size of a baby fist was tendered in Antwerp. The diamond will be polished in Antwerp.

"This is about strengthening our skills pool. In terms of the technology, Matrix is unique in the way that it speeds up the polishing process and gives perfection when polishing a rough stone,” Claes said.
