Israel-based Sarine Technologies Ltd. recently introduced its Lab Services at the Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) in Mumbai. The company said these services are offered as part of its longstanding commitment to adding value to the diamond industry in India via advanced technologies. At the BDB, Sarine will provide free pre-grading to ascertain light/cut grade for sorting purposes. If required, a report can be obtained at an additional fee. Light performance results are analysed via the Sarine Light™ system and cut grade measurement is determined with the Sarine DiaMension® HD system.
The new Sarine Lab Services were officially launched on August 12th at a grand opening event arranged with the endorsement of the BDB committee and with the participation of BDB vice president Mehul Shah. Sarine, whose close connection to the Indian diamond industry spans 30 years, said it was delighted when it was approached by the BDB committee to see how it could help members, both large and small, stay competitive and capture new opportunities. Together, the BDB committee and Sarine decided to take necessary action, allowing any BDB member free access to lab services that can help them add value for their customers.
David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, said, “We are thrilled to open the new Lab Services centre at the BDB, making the lab experience accessible for BDB members. Our partnership with the BDB committee and members is a source of pride for Sarine, as we work together to advance the industry into the 21st century.”
Mehul Shah stated, “It is our duty as the BDB committee to bring the latest technologies and solutions to all our members, to help them remain competitive and at the forefront of innovation. We appreciate Sarine’s long-term commitment and efforts to take the industry forward especially during challenging times.”
