WTOCD grants Coborn license for new polishing machine

Coborn Engineering Ltd has decided to acquire a license for WTOCD’s patented grain independent polishing technology. The exclusive license will be granted as of January 2015 and forms a key technological input for a new polishing machine.

The license will extend existing technological cooperation between WTOCD and Coborn with the machining of diamonds materials for industrial applications. The new polishing machine will complement the existing Coborns’ product portfolio allowing up to 12 times faster machining of diamond based industrial super hard materials.

Ari Epstein, CEO of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, is pleased with the cooperation between WTOCD and Coborn: “It is great to see that Antwerp technology gains so much interest abroad. Antwerp is the world leader in the diamond industry, and it is partly thanks to technological innovations such as these that we continue to be on top of our game.”
