Argor-Heraeus Mint: Trusted by Investors in Singapore and Worldwide
Headquartered in Mendrisio, Switzerland, Argor-Heraeus is one of the world’s most respected names in precious metals refining and minting. With annual processing volumes between 350 and 400 tons of gold, it ranks among the largest and most trusted global refineries.
Known for its unwavering commitment to precision, quality, and transparency, Argor-Heraeus offers an extensive range of bullion products in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—highly sought after by investors, institutions, and collectors in Singapore and around the world.
A Rich Heritage of Excellence
Founded in 1951 as Argor SA, the company originally focused on precious metal refining. The Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) acquired majority ownership in 1960, before a transformative merger in 1986 with Germany’s Heraeus Group, a leader in metal technology.
By 2002, Argor-Heraeus had evolved into a joint venture with shareholders including Heraeus, Commerzbank, the Austrian Mint, and its own management team—each contributing expertise and industry leadership.
Today, Argor-Heraeus is recognized as a pillar of the global bullion industry, consistently setting the benchmark for refining quality, ethical sourcing, and design innovation.
