Antwerp, Belgium—HRD Antwerp NV has named Emile Schoeters as the new senior manager of the HRD Diamond Lab, the organization announced on Tuesday.

Schoeters will handle the daily management of the HRD Diamond Lab and formulate its business strategy. To meet the growing demand for HRD Antwerp diamond certificates, Schoeters also will have to expand and optimize the lab's grading capacity.

Schoeters comes to HRD Antwerp from Agfa-Gevaert, where he served as key manager.

He holds a doctorate in nuclear physics and a master's in business administration, and has extensive experience as a leader in an international science-based business environment, according to HRD Antwerp.

"With his excellent managerial skills and experience, and his strong scientific background, we are confident that Emile is ideally suited to head the HRD Diamond Lab," HRD Antwerp General Manager Georges Brys said in a statement.

HRD Antwerp is a subsidiary of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), formerly known as the Hoge Raad voor Diamant (HRD).

HRD Antwerp operates six services: the diamond lab, HRD Precious Stones Lab, HRD Education, HRD Graduates Club, HRD Equipment and HRD Research.
