About us
Solomon Katzman, Antwerp
Solomon Katzman is privately owned company and working with import/export diamonds in
Antwerp.
Continuity and sustainability in its decisions are typical advantages of a sole proprietor
enterprise since it can successfully side-step what frequently are short-term objectives and
interests of public limited companies.
Hectic “actionism” driven by quarterly figures certainly is not typical for Solomon Katzman.
We in our culture thinks and acts in generations and not in quarters.
A strict reinvestment policy ensures that the earnings generated remain in the Company. This
reinforces the level of reserves, provides the company with a high equity ratio and thus
secures its independence. This means that its sovereignty in terms of decision-making is
preserved, and the Company can develop sustainably on its own without having to rely on
others. In the past decades, the family Katzman has delivered compelling evidence that this
is the correct approach to follow.
relationships
The strong relationships with our extensive network of suppliers built on trust and
every step of the way we adhere to the highest ethical standards, where our diamonds
come from and how we do business with our suppliers and our clients.
Our solid time-tested relationships with the mining companies and wholesalers ensure that we get exactly the right stone that you want and at the right price.
By virtue of our global presence and multicultural identity, our highly skilled and knowledgeable team makes it possible to give an outstanding customized service to our clients.
