Diamantclub van Antwerpen

In 1893 the unincorporated association was transformed into a public limited liability company, having its registered seat at 62 Pelikaanstraat. More than 125 years later the registered seat is still located at this address, since 1992 however under the legal form of a cooperative limited liability company. 

The exchange hall and the offices of the Diamantclub were officially inaugurated in 1894, in the presence of Jan Van Rijswijck, the then mayor of Antwerp.

After a few years already the building became too small and it was extended to the Hoveniersstraat. From 1966 to 1969 the premises were nearly entirely replaced by a modern building. Its inauguration was also an opportunity to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Diamantclub in the presence of King Baudouin.

Currently, still more than 150 diamond companies are located in our premises. Various committees within the Board of Directors are continuously working on a permanent update of the infrastructure and security mechanisms and facilities, with the purpose of creating a pleasant working environment for tenants and members.
