Aunexum Precious Metals Group signs gold covenant

Aunexum Precious Metals Group includes companies that deal in various precious metals products and services. This concerns the purchase and sale for private individuals, storage and recycling of gold. The company also provides services such as financing, hedging and leasing.

"Role of significance"

"We think it's important to be socially responsible. With our companies, we oversee the entire chain of precious metals, which means that we actually have a significant role.", said director Vincent Kersten at the signing of the agreement.

"How wonderful it is that we, together with our partners and customers, can take steps to raise awareness about the origin of precious metals! We can also make the sector more sustainable. In addition, it is important that we sit down directly with partners to actually implement changes.", says Kersten.

Trade and services

Holland Gold as part of Aunexum focuses on the purchase and sale of precious metals to mainly private individuals in the form of bars and coins. AunexumSafe takes care of the storage of precious metals in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Holland Gold has an AFM licence for the supply of precious metals in combination with storage.

From waste to raw material

Aunexum and her company BGP Edelmetaal collect scrap gold, such as old rings and necklaces, from about one hundred and fifty jewellers. This scrap gold is processed by sister company Elephant Refinery, which refines 'demolition' into raw materials such as gold and silver. Elephant Refinery also recycles old electronics (such as printed circuit boards), industrial (residual) products and dental gold, which often contain various other rare raw materials in addition to gold and silver.
