Know Our History
The Beginning
In 2005, BBJ Bangkok was established as a gemstone buying and sourcing office, with the goal of supplying major clients globally.
Expanding Beyond Gemstones
BBJ Bangkok recognized the opportunity to diversify from gemstones only, to also include a small amount of outsourced production.
Product Design & Development
With the success of the gemstone sourcing and buying endeavors, and with outsourced production opportunities increasing, BBJ Bangkok began to build an initial Design & Product Development team.
Human Capital Investments
BBJ Bangkok made further human capital investments and proceeded to hire a dedicated Merchandising Team to offer our customer base the unique designs being prepared by the already in-place Design and Product Development Teams.
The First 100
Just over five years after first being established, BBJ Bangkok hit the milestone of 100 employees.
In House
Keen to build and capitalize on the growth achieved through offering outsourced production, BBJ Bangkok formed three Joint Ventures to provide 'in-house' production capabilities.
In-House Manufacturing Operations
This momentous year saw the addition of a dedicated facility in the specialized Gemopolis industrial estate, with a plan for this new location to become the BBJ's main center of operation.
Further Expansion
Further expansion was achieved when BBJ Bangkok purchased two of the three JVs formed just two years prior, bringing both under the BBJ umbrella. This comprised relocating the factory production lines to our dedicated Gemopolis facility giving our customers true vertical integration.
Happy 300++
The BBJ Bangkok brand continues to grow exponentially and now enjoys an in-house team that has grown to 300+ individuals, all dedicated to continual improvement and customer-first principles.
