Israeli based DTC Sightholder A. Dalumi has received a license to manufacture diamonds in Botswana. Dalumi will be one of the first companies to open a diamond polishing factory in Botswana.

Combining our capabilities and know-how with cutting edge technologies will help to develop and boost Botswana's role as well as Dalumi's competitive advantage in the industry.”
