Dealing responsibly with the materials entrusted to us, with the environment and with our fellow human beings is deeply rooted in us. This aspiration requires holistic thinking, which has distinguished us as a family business since 1850. Our technological edge in the processing of precious metals allows us to offer our customers added value and thus secure the future of our company. In doing so, we rely on highly qualified employees who appreciate our working environment characterised by mutual appreciation, openness and creativity.
