GENERAL

 

Tache Asia Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tache Investments S.A. which is a Luxembourg-based firm.

The subject is a diamond and jewellery trader.  It is a member of the Tache Alliance [Tache] which is a group of diamond and jewellery companies, operating in twelve countries on five continents.

Tache is a diamond trading company sightholder.  It is famous for its Russian cut rounds and princess diamonds.  The founder of Tache is Mr. Jacques Tache while the CEO is Mr. Robert Tache.

Tache entered the diamond market in 1957.  In the early 1980s, Tache found its niche as a major manufacturer of excellent Russian cut diamonds, and was one of the first foreign companies to collaborate with Russian state-owned factories, ensuring a constant supply of the cut diamonds in the world.

Tache became a DTC (Diamond Trading Company) sightholder over 30 years ago, and has benefited from a constant supply of rough diamonds.

Now, three generations later, Tache is a leading manufacturer and wholesaler of Russian cut stones.  Using traditional and well established techniques, mastered in the best polishing factories of Russia, Tache has expended its factories in many countries of the world – from Russia to South Africa, Armenia and China.

Tache is able to manufacture cut rounds and princess cut diamonds of all sizes – from 0.01 carat to unique 10+ carat stones.

Tache has rapidly expanded globally, and established a strong network of offices and partners around the world, all working under the umbrella of the Tache Alliance.  Members of the Tache Alliance integrate well-known Tache standards and principles of quality, service, and continuous diamond supply into the heart of the diamond industry worldwide.  Tache is serving its clients from offices in Germany, France, Italy, the United States, India, Australia, China, Dubai, Switzerland, South Africa, Botswana and Belgium.

The subject is serving the customers in Hong Kong.

Tache Company NV, the centrepiece of the Tache Alliance and Vancut Diamond Works.  Tache Company NV is headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium.

Now, Tache has about 2,500 employees, 10 offices, and eight factories.  Its associated companies include Fildiam BVBA, Miller Diamonds Pty. Ltd., Tache USA Inc., Tache Diamonds Italia Srl, Tache France/Société Eric, Coindre-Steiner SA, Tache Japan KK, Tache Jewellery Pvt., Ltd., Tache India Pvt. Ltd., Nikos Jewels, etc.

The business of the subject is handled by Mr. Lo Wing Hang.

The subject is fully supported by the Tache.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
