De Beers Centenary AG
 PROFILE
De Beers Centenary mines nature's diamonds and makes its own. The company controls the De Beers diamond mining interests outside South Africa through 50% stakes in Debswana (Botswana) and Namdeb (Namibia). It also has mining interests in Canada and Tanzania, manufactures synthetic diamonds and abrasives, and owns interests in the non-South African elements of the Diamond Trading Company (successor to the Central Selling Organization, the cartel that historically controlled the world's rough diamond distribution). De Beers Centenary and sister company De Beers Consolidated Mines were taken private in 2001 by a consortium made up of Anglo American and the Oppenheimer family (45% each) and Debswana Mining.
