Dieter Hahn received honorary President status of the Diamond and Precious Stones Bourse Idar-Oberstein (DEIO). Hahn has been the treasurer of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) since 1991 and has also served as the director and president of the DEIO for 30 years.
Jochen Muller, President of the DEIO, presented his predecessor with the award, explaining, “Hahn has been a part of the bourse since 1973 and then went on to become the president in 1988. During this time, he was involved in all areas of both the local as well as international diamond industry and contributed immensely to our unique business.
“His service was outstanding and tireless through his participation in various trade bodies, such as the WFDB, International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), the Idar-Oberstein Trade Fair, the Inhorgenta Fair and the German Gemstone Museum and the German Gemmological Association,” Mulller added. “For his efforts, we believe that the honorary president is a fitting award.”
