DeBeers-Omnitech is the subsidiary of Universal Omnitech that specializes in precious materials. They are the leaders in Dikote and diamond-film technology. Through a partnership with Wuxing, they scored a lot of capital during the Orichalcum Rush, but when the orichalcum dried up, it left them in a financial lurch.
The Corporation is headquartered in Azania. The CEO is Jan Vermeer, a powerful person in Cape Town politics.

The DeBeers-Omnitech corporation in Shadowrun is based on the real-life DeBeers family business, which controls a huge portion of the world diamond market, largely by refusing to sell most harvested diamonds in order to increase the scarcity value of those that are sold.
