Element Six

Research & Development combined with strong technical expertise and support is central to the continued growth and success of Element Six. Recognising the importance of innovation, Element Six set up its first dedicated research and development facility only one year after its foundation in 1947. Since then the company’s research in the field of diamond-related materials research, has grown to become the most renowned of its type in the world.

Element Six has been a pioneer in the development and progress of manufacturing processes for synthetic diamond and other novel Supermaterials. These now form the core of the company’s product ranges. As well as its formal laboratories, research activities are also carried out by dedicated teams at each of Element Six’s manufacturing and production sites.

In addition, the company’s researchers work with leading university groups around the world on novel applications involving the use of diamond materials. Element Six also works with other industrial partners on new uses of Supermaterials.
