A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE DISCUSSION ON LASER
An audience about 46 persons at the Leela Kempinski, in Bombay, which included the Consul General of South Africa Mr C. Qomoyi, the director of Seepz, Mr M. Nair and distinguished guests of Industry.
Dr. Salvadeo is an engineer with an MBA and the MD of Quanta System, Italy, that have been in the laser business for over two decades. Quanta System has been present in the Indian market for five years in the diamond/jewerly industry but for a decade with ISRO & other Indian government organisations. The main point Quanta wanted to convey to the diamond/jewelry industries was: they are here & here to stay, especially for they will start Quanta India shortly.
Dr. Salvadeo spoke about various lasers & their applications, but at the end of his talk, the audience was given reasons as to why the gems & jewelry industry & why India will just not mean India but also China.
Out of the 744 tonnes of gold bought by the EU, more than 600 are processed by Italy being a leader in the jewelry industry. Quanta System supplies welding & marking equipment locally in Italy & Europe for jewelry. India is fast becoming an important exporter of jewelry. For the diamond industry, the basic laser is from Quanta & the system tailor made locally keeping in mind the types of raw materials processed. The second reason for India being an important market is that Italian Lasers are being sold in China through Honk Kong. However, since Indian companies are setting up operations in China, they can get these directly, plus Quanta India can handle servicing.
Besides manufacturing lasers & fully automatic systems for diamond processing (with the lowest possible weight loss & almost no breakages), welders 1+2 & jewelry marking lasers are also offered. A new gold purity checking laser system & diamond marking lasers are on their way for the Indian market!
