Our mission
Strengthening Antwerp’s position as the world’s leading diamond trading center
AWDC is a public-private partnership, officially representing and coordinating the Antwerp diamond industry. We do this through Diamond Office, where we streamline the vast import and export flow of diamonds in and out of Antwerp, and through a wide variety of dedicated marketing campaigns, services, conferences, trade fairs,
economic missions and much more.


Our goal is to service all those who are involved or interested in our fascinating stones, from professional players like the mining giants to the bride-to-be,
looking for her perfect wedding ring.

Antwerp:
More than five centuries of diamond history
Antwerp is where all the key elements in the industry are concentrated: home to all the major mining companies that unearth these treasures, to over 1,700 individual diamond dealers originating from all over the world, to the dedicated diamond banks and insurance brokers, the forwarders that are equipped to send the precious parcels to every corner of the world, the best polishers in the world and high tech researchers that get the best out of each and every rough stone.
