The Israeli Diamond Industry is once again  participating in the India International Jewelry Show (IIJS) to be held  in Mumbai from August 19 – 23, 2010. An Israel Diamond Pavilion,  organized by the Israel Diamond Institute Group of Companies (IDI) will  include 7 Israeli companies. This is the third time that IDI has  organized a national pavilion at the show.

The companies exhibiting are: AG Diamond Direct Ltd., EZ Diamonds,  Hausman Diamond Manufacturers, Julius Klein – Eliaz Diamonds, Niru  Diamonds, Schachter &amp; Namdar Asia and Shlomo Bichachi Diamonds Ltd.

As in previous years IDI will have an image booth within the pavilion at  1B037, which will provide buyers with information about the Israeli  Diamond Industry and the advantages of doing business with Israel, and  will register industry members for the Israeli Diamond Industry Portal  site and on-line data base.

IDI Chairman Moti Ganz said that it was very important for the Israeli  Diamond Industry to forge ties with the Indian industry. “As two of the  world’s leading diamond centers, Israel and India can complement each  other in both manufacturing and trading. We believe in the great  potential of this enormous market, which is growing at a very rapid  pace,” he said.

IDI Managing Director Eli Avidar said that the institute was actively  supporting the enhancement of ties between the two diamond industries.  “We encourage Israeli companies to explore business opportunities with  the growing Indian market. Our belief in the Indian diamond industry has  led us to initiate memorandums of understanding with the GJEPC and the  GJF, which were signed in late 2009 and early 2010. We look forward to  strengthening the ties between the industries in the coming IIJS show,”  said Avidar.
