Adamas’ facilities are in Greenville, South Carolina. The company currently holds 36 patents and says it uses a proprietary chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to grow diamonds.
In 2018, the company purchased all assets of Greenville-based Scio Diamond, which went public in 2011 but ran out of money.
Scio was formerly known as Apollo Diamond Corp., the Boston company founded in 1990.
