The visionary founder and leader of Garaude has been named twice in the 2024 Business Worldwide CEO Awards. François Garaude was named ‘Most Innovative CEO in the Coloured Gemstones Industry‘ & ‘Growth Strategy CEO of the Year – France‘
As with preceding years, this year’s CEO awards seek to recognise and honour the Most Respected C-level executives across the globe from a variety of different sectors. Instead of focusing on a company’s success, as many do, here the spotlight is on the success of individuals who make the corporations tick– namely senior executives such as CEOs, Managing Directors, Directors and senior-level management. The intention is to give a worthy individual the recognition he/she deserves as well as to use their example to inspire other companies and business leaders to achieve similar success.
A Paris-based leader in the gemstone industry, Garaude is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to ethical sourcing. With François Garaude at the helm, the company has set new standards in the trade of coloured gemstones, blending innovation with a deep respect for the art and ethics of the industry.
François Garaude’s journey into the gemstone world began over four decades ago in Bahia, Brazil, where a chance encounter with an emerald ignited his passion for gemstones. This pivotal moment set the course for a career that would take him to the gemstone-rich regions of Sri Lanka, Burma, and Colombia. In Mandalay, Myanmar, Garaude discovered a treasure trove of rubies, sapphires, and jade, which had yet to be fully appreciated in Europe. His keen eye for quality and authenticity led him to introduce these unique gems to the global market, reshaping the industry and establishing Garaude as a name synonymous with excellence.
Garaude has always been ahead of its time in advocating for transparency and ethical practices in the gemstone industry. Long before these principles became widespread, Garaude pioneered the concept of traceability, ensuring that every gemstone’s journey from mine to market was documented and ethical. This commitment to responsible sourcing earned the company recognition as one of Les Échos magazine’s top 65 Champions of Growth in 2024, with a remarkable 280% growth from 2019 to 2022.
In 2016, Garaude expanded its global footprint by opening an office in Bangkok, a strategic move that positioned the company at the heart of the international gemstone trade. This expansion was followed by the establishment of a New York office in 2023, further solidifying Garaude’s influence in the industry. A highlight of Garaude’s craftsmanship was the cutting of the Estrela de Fura, the world’s largest gem-quality ruby, in 2023. This 55.22-carat masterpiece, discovered in Mozambique, was sold for a record-breaking $34.8 million at Sotheby’s, setting new benchmarks for transparency and quality.
François Garaude’s vision for the future is clear: to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation while maintaining the highest ethical standards. His work has not only enriched the world of high jewellery but has also left a lasting legacy of positive impact. Through his leadership, Garaude demonstrates that luxury and responsibility can coexist, setting a standard that resonates across the global gemstone industry.

Linglong’s European Factory Has Achieved Mass Production

In the middle of September, 2024, Linglong International Europe d.o.o., the first Chinese tire factory in Europe, officially started mass production. Another important project in Linglong Tire’s “7+5” global strategic blueprint has come to fruition, and the global strategic layout has started a new journey!
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić led government departments at all levels, together with Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Ming, industry authorities, well-known experts from universities, as well as Linglong’s global partners and media friends, to attend this grand event.
Since its launch in 2019, Linglong Europe has attracted global attention with its grand blueprint of a total investment of US$990 million and an annual production capacity of 13.62 million high-performance radial tires.
During its construction, Linglong’s European factory has deeply integrated cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, mobile sensing, industrial big data, and industrial robots. It is committed to becoming a benchmark for tire production that is safe, environmentally friendly, intelligent, automated, and green, and becoming one of the leading digital factories in the global tire industry. It has achieved full automation and digital management from the warehousing of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, greatly improving product quality and production efficiency.
Furthermore, the “green, clean, civilized, and lean” new factory model advocated by Linglong Europe will lead the industry towards a more environmentally friendly, efficient, and intelligent direction.
During their in-depth visit to the production workshops of Linglong Europe, the visiting leaders and guests all expressed sincere admiration for the factory’s high level of intelligence, unanimously acknowledging it as a model in the tire manufacturing industry that they have personally witnessed, and an “incredible factory” beyond their imagination in terms of intelligence. President Vučić emphasized during his visit, “It’s unbelievable and incredible. I feel so proud and happy.”
With the official mass production of its European project, Linglong has taken an important step in its globalization strategy in the European market. The factory will provide European and surrounding market users with an excellent driving experience through high-performance products featuring green, low-carbon, low rolling resistance, and strong handling capabilities, as well as superior services. This milestone achievement not only promotes the construction and improvement of Linglong’s overseas OE system, but also significantly enhances the competitiveness and influence of Chinese tire makers in the global market.
In August 2024, with the Linglong Europe developing rapidly, Linglong announced the launch of the Linglong Phase II expansion project in Europe. After the expansion project is completed, it will add an annual production of 1.1 million high-performance radial tires of various types, including 800,000 sets of commercial vehicle tires, 50,000 sets of engineering radial tires, 150,000 sets of agricultural radial tires, 100,000 sets of retreaded tires, and liquid reclaimed rubber, photovoltaic power generation and other projects.
At the mass production ceremony, Linglong Tire signed an additional investment memorandum with the Serbian government. The signing of this agreement is not only a full affirmation of the previous cooperation results, but also lays the foundation for the smooth progress of the European Linglong expansion project.
In the future, Linglong Tire will take the project’s mass production as an opportunity, aim at the high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” between China and Serbia, strengthen compliance operations and safety production management, and promote future project construction with high standards and strict requirements. At the same time, the company will actively fulfill its social responsibilities, establish an excellent corporate culture image, and contribute more to promoting China-Serbia economic and trade cooperation to a higher level and promoting Chinese manufacturing to the world stage!
