Argor Heraeus is a world leader in transforming precious metals into minted or cast products; this is evident in the minimalist design of their platinum bars.

Platinum is one of the rarest and most expensive precious metals on earth. In its natural form, it is fairly impure as it contains small amounts of other elements and is often found in jewellery. However, its primary use is in catalytic converters for cars, buses and trucks. It is also used for making optical fibres and LCDs, spark plugs, pacemakers, turbine blades and dental fillings, among other things. This element is commonly found in alluvial deposits, and the majority of commercially produced platinum originates from South Africa.

Due to its diverse usage, platinum is an excellent investment option, especially as its demand has become significantly higher in recent years.

ABOUT THE ARGOR-HERAEUS REFINERY

Initially established as Argor SA in 1951 in Chiasso, Switzerland, Argor Heraeus is among the world's most trusted international mints and refineries. Through its first two decades in operation, Argor SA remained an independent company. In 1973, UBS acquired a 100% stake in Argor SA. A joint venture with the German Heraeus Group in 1986 resulted in the formation of the new Argor-Heraeus refinery. Today they are one of the world's largest global providers of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium precious metal products and the world's largest global provider of services in the Precious Metal industry. Their outstanding 65 years in the business have given them a spot among the top Precious Metal corporations around the world.
