Heraeus: reliable producer of LBMA gold and silver

Heraeus: one of the world's largest precious metal producers

Heraeus is a German family-owned company and one of the largest precious metal processors in the world. The company was founded in 1851 in Hanau and refines hundreds of tons of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium annually.

Heraeus holds the LBMA Good Delivery status for both gold and silver, making its bars globally recognized and tradable. For investors in physical precious metals, this places Heraeus among the most reliable producers in existence.

The rich history of the family-owned company Heraeus

The foundation of today's multi-billion dollar company was laid back in 1660 with the takeover of a small-scale family pharmacy in Hanau, Germany. However, the true shift toward the industrial precious metals sector occurred in 1851.

In that year, the innovative pharmacist Wilhelm Carl Heraeus succeeded in melting platinum on a large scale using a specially developed gas burner. With this breakthrough, the company became the very first industrial platinum smelter in the world.

From that historic milestone, the enterprise grew into an international technology group with over 16,000 employees, operating in more than 40 countries.

Today, the brand combines this centuries-old tradition with state-of-the-art production techniques. For instance, the Heraeus Precious Metals group invests approximately 7% of its annual revenue directly into research and development.

What is the link to Argor-Heraeus?

In the market, you often see the names Heraeus and Argor-Heraeus side by side. This can sometimes be confusing for consumers, but the difference is straightforward. Argor was originally founded in 1951 in Switzerland as an independent precious metal refinery. Over the years, an increasingly close collaboration with the German group developed.

In the year 2017, the German parent organization fully acquired the Swiss precious metal processor in Chiasso. Since that strategic acquisition, the group has become the largest provider of precious metal services in the world.

The bars leaving the Swiss facility often bear a combined stamp, perfectly uniting German reliability with renowned Swiss precision. However, both companies operate alongside one another, and each independently holds the highly coveted accreditations.

Features and benefits of the brand

Heraeus precious metals distinguish themselves from other market players, like Umicore and C Hafner, in several key areas. The group manages the entire supply chain, from sourcing and eco-friendly recycling to final refining.

These specific characteristics contribute directly to its immense popularity among international investors:

• LBMA Good Delivery Status: Both the German and Swiss refineries hold the strictest accreditation from the London Bullion Market Association. This is a quality guarantee that ensures your bars are immediately tradable worldwide without further inspection.
• Unique Kinebar technology: The brand produces special minted products featuring a patented kinegram on the reverse side. This unique visual hologram serves as foolproof security against potential counterfeiting.
• Highest purity guarantee: All investment bars are delivered with an official certificate of authenticity stating the exact weight, unique serial number, and guaranteed fineness of the metal.

At The Silver Mountain we offer the highest quality Heraeus precious metals, inclusief certificate of proof.
