Inauguration of the Lexus-Technomist Botswana Operations. on Mar 29, 2023

Mr. Bernard Bradley, Sr Vice President of De Beers (Sales) Botswana, inaugurated the Lexus-Technomist Botswana operations on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

Lexus-Octonus (Technomist) Group is the backbone of the entire diamond industry, from rough diamond planning to grading, and the entire chain of diamond manufacturing to the sales of real gem-quality diamonds. They have one of the largest numbers of innovative and unique machines/technologies, software, and online cloud platforms, with the world's most advanced and hi-tech instruments. Their partners and colleagues have been catering to the diamond industry for over 30 years.

Now, they have set up their service and support in Botswana - an office in the premier and most secured location of Gaborone, the DTP (Diamond Technology Park), in Suite 205 in Atrium.

They support the entire southern African region, including Botswana, Namibia, Angola, and South Africa, for the necessary service and support for all De Beers sight holder companies, GIA lab, and De Beers itself. They are now also supporting the government-backed DTC Botswana when they have supplied their hi-tech rough diamond price evaluation systems.

One of their most popular systems is the Lexus-Octonus Helium polish and Helium Rough system, aided by immersion glass for inclusion plotting and X-ray DiaTomography, with the new range of 3D Microscopes (known as DALS). They have a large setup of more than 400 of their most popular GALAHAD COMPASS, which has been a great help in this part of the world for upscaling and introducing new polishing artisans and experts, generating a huge employment opportunity among locals in Botswana.

There are more then 4 companies who have Galahad Compass on each and every polishing bench in their factory, which includes KGK, K G Mfg, K P Sanghvi, Star Gems, and Starrays.

Some industry experts and Mr. Bernard Bradley have predicted that Galahad Compass and Lexus Technologies will surely have a larger impact on diamond manufacturing and sales due to their cutting-edge technologies in Botswana, which includes their most popular Helium and Dibox Cutwise platform for value-added diamonds.

The conference and talk on new innovations from their Director and Co-Founder of LEXUS-TECHNOMIST GROUP, Mr. Utpal Mistry, were greatly applauded by more than 100+ attendees, including some top brasses of the diamond industry who were present during De Beers Sight week. Mr. Nitin Dhaddha and Mr. Sidharth Goti of KGK group, Mr. Arpan Mehta of Aurostar, Mr. Hitesh and Samveg Shah of Venus Jewels, Mr. Krupesh Shah of Starrays, Mr. Sahil Mehta of Rosyblue, and Mr. Ugam Shah and Mr. Ritesh Dagli of Diarough were a few of the attendees.
