%% This is yet another pioneering landmark by Shrenuj, who recently commissioned Botswana’s first diamond jewellery manufacturing unit. %% Commenting on the introduction of this revolutionary equipment, Mr Shreyas Doshi, Chairman and Managing Director, said, “Planning is the most skills intensive process in diamond manufacturing. By introducing Galaxy™, we are reinforcing our commitment to the beneficiation of our local workforce”. %% “Galaxy™ will improve both the productivity and accuracy of the planning and preparation processes and this enhanced capacity at the leading end of production will create further employment opportunities for Batswana citizens. The trainees in planning will be exposed to the latest technology, which will accelerate the skills transfer and thus reduce dependency on external support”. %%

%% Explaining the technology, Mr David Block, of Sarin Technology, stated, “The Galaxy™ provides diamond manufacturers with technology to accurately, quickly, and automatically detect and map inclusions in a rough diamond regardless of their type, size, and location and without the need for preprocessing (“opening windows”). Together with Sarin’s Advisor™ rough planning software, the new Galaxy™ 1000 scanner provides the perfect tool for diamond rough planning by expediting the inclusion mapping process. We are proud to be associated with Shrenuj Botswana as the pioneer in bringing this state of the art equipment to this wonderful country.” Sarin has confirmed that this agreement with Shrenuj Botswana has resulted in the first Galaxy 1000 being shipped to Botswana. %% Martin Pearson, MD of Shrenuj’s South African operations, commented, " long term rough diamond prices are expected to remain high and we know this technology can assist us in extracting the maximum value from a stone, resulting in cost efficiencies that will provide a sustainable long term future for our employees in Botswana. We are grateful for the continued support of all stakeholders, notably the Diamond Hub, DTC Botswana and our employees, the introduction of Galaxy is further evidence of our commitment to meeting their objectives and expectations”. %%
