During the tour, the Deputy Governor had an opportunity to go through all the jewellery manufacturing processes.
In 2016, Aurex Diamonds commissioned a high tech diamond cutting and polishing factory and the Deputy Governor, Dr Chipika, also had an opportunity to tour the plant guided by Aurex Management. The Aurex factory has installed capacity to cut and polish between 2500carats and 10000 carats per month, depending on the quality and size of the rough diamonds feedstock. The company employs a team of Indian expatriates who are working with the local team to ensure smooth skills transfer and the development of the desired working culture.
