CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation, confirmed the membership of the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, the largest jewellery retailer in Asia.
“We would like to thank CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri and the Board of Directors for welcoming us,” said Kent Wong, Chow Tai Fook’s Managing Director, Corporate and HK, Macau & Overseas, “and we are grateful to be able to work closely with all members for the continuous development of the industry. CIBJO, whose mission it is to promote international cooperation, has embarked on a range of initiatives to elevate and bolster consumer confidence.”
Dr. Cavalieri noted, “Chow Tai Fook’s becoming part of the CIBJO community represents a giant milestone, and will provide our confederation with a considerably broader perspective, not only in what are several of the fastest growing markets in the global jewellery trade, but also in the online environment, which is consuming an ever larger share of sales. Just as the group has led the way in Asia and elsewhere, we expect it to take a leading role in CIBJO.”
Wong continued, “Being an industry pioneer with over 90 years of heritage, we understand the need to innovate and stay united to make a truly positive difference. In order to fulfil these ideals and promises, it is important that we work collaboratively with our industry peers, bringing in innovative insights. Only when we do so can we herald a new era of growth and synergy.”
