Amazing Stone’s facility is located on the island of Mauritius, near the wealth of gemstone materials that can be found in the region. The company is located in a “Freeport Zone” on the island, which is operated by Mauritius Freeport Development Co., Ltd. Benefits to Amazing Stone’s location include closer proximity to raw material sources while benefiting from a vast infrastructure that includes a professional workforce (see “Stoneworking in the Freeport Zone”). Management of the company is American, while the company’s principals are American and European.
Amazing Stone’s operation is adjacent to the port facilities, and because it is in the Freeport Zone, the materials being brought in clear customs one day after arrival, as opposed to the several weeks generally associated with traditional import channels.
