DTC releases names of sightholders
April 29, 2008
London—The Diamond Trading Co. (DTC) has now released the names of all 79 companies that are sightholders for the 2008-2011 contract period.
A speculative list had been circulating for months via various media outlets, and the DTC itself released the names of the companies that are sightholders with DTC
Botswana and DTC Namibia in November and October, respectively.
The list released this morning, however, represents the first official naming of the next round of sightholders in its entirety.
There are a total of 14 fewer sightholders for this next contract period, as the DTC's share of diamonds has been reduced drastically in recent years.
According to the list, two New York companies—Dynamic Diamond Corp. and
Hasenfeld-Stein Inc.—are no longer sightholders.
But seven U.S. companies retained sights with the DTC in one of its locations. They are: Almod Diamonds Ltd., Julius Klein Diamonds LLC, Lazare Kaplan International Inc., Louis Glick Diamond Corp., Michael Werdiger Inc., Premier Gem Group and Stuller Inc.
Here is a complete listing of all sightholders, classified by sight, according to the DTC. This list totals more than 79 because some companies have more than one sight.
In addition, the industrial sightholders are not included in the count of 79 sightholder groups, according to the DTC.
