This means that by 2021, Alrosa’s cutting and polishing assets, namely Diamonds Alrosa in Moscow, Diamonds Alrosa LLC in Barnaul and Kristall Production Corporation in Smolensk, will form a single organizational and legal structure.
“The goals are twofold: first, to make sure that diamond output is allocated more efficiently among the sites, and second, to facilitate the sharing of practices,” the media brief states. “In addition, the facilities are going to provide backup to each other in case the epidemiological situation in one of the regions gets worse.”
The miner also said that Dmitry Amelkin, who was appointed transformation director of Alrosa’s polishing division in the spring of this year, will lead the integration process.
