Why Idar-Oberstein Needs Business English
With around 30,000 residents, Idar-Oberstein is Germany’s gemstone capital — for over 500 years. In 1827, emigrants from Idar-Oberstein discovered Brazil’s most important agate deposits. Today, the town exports gemstones and jewellery to over 70 countries. The precision cutting tradition has evolved into high-tech optics: Electro-Optics Technology GmbH develops technical crystals for lasers. Wild & Petsch cut sapphires and rubies with tolerances of 0.02 mm. For international trade and specialist exports, confident Business English is essential.
