Argor-Heraeus: From 1951 Origins to Global Gold Refining Leader

Overview

ARGOR SA was the very first foundry in Ticino to specialize in precious metals in the year 1951. Heraeus and Argor came together in 1986 to establish Argor-Heraeus SA. It became a stakeholder in the Austrian Mint in 2002.

The International Bullion Market

Argor-Heraeus is now a refiner that is included on the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) Good Delivery List. This is a badge of quality that provides investors all around the world with reassurance. Its gold bars are recognized by central banks, financial institutions, and bullion dealers all over the world, including in Canada and the USA, where the demand for real bullion is expected to continue to increase.

Purity and Accuracy

Argor-Heraeus produces a broad variety of gold bars in a variety of sizes:

• • Minted bars ranging from one gram to one hundred grams
• • Bars ranging from 50 grams to one kilogram
• • The very coveted the lunar gold bar that weighs between 1 gram and 1 ounce.
• • The 400-oz gold bar

For your convenience, each bar comes with a unique serial number, a certificate of authenticity, and, in many cases, packaging that shows if it has been tampered with. Because the company ensures that its gold bars are at least 99.99% pure, they are a perfect alternative for investors who care about the stability of their long-term portfolios.

Responsible Sourcing

In the contemporary bullion market, which is becoming increasingly concerned with ethical sourcing, Argor-Heraeus has been pioneering the way forward. When it came to the procurement of raw materials, the refinery was one of the pioneers in the implementation of stringent due diligence strategies and traceability protocols. In addition to being a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), it complies with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance stringently.

Innovations in Technology

In addition to the process of refining gold, Argor-Heraeus also contributes to the technological development of items made from precious metal material. Argor-Heraeus has a huge selection of semi-finished and finished goods, as well as a wide range of valuable alloys that meet and exceed the quality and service criteria of even the pickiest customers.

Furthermore, their invention includes refining procedures that are sensitive to the environment. Those investors who are keeping an eye on both the live gold price and the carbon footprint of their investment portfolio should take this into consideration.
