Canada’s Sudbury-based Crossworks diamond manufacturer is expected to nearly double its workforce now that the company has won a three-year contract to cut some C$35 million from De Beers’ Victor Mine, the CBC reports. According to the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, De Beers Canada has an agreement to offer 10% of the rough diamonds produced at the Victor Mine for sale to be manufactured in Ontario.
Currently, Crossworks’ Sudbury plant employs a workforce of 29, a number that is expected to increase to 50. Due to a lack of qualified diamond cutters and polishers in Ontairo, the company will invest in training the new workers.
