Valcambi are one of the world’s leading refiners of gold with the capability of producing 2000 tonnes of precious metals annually.
They are a globally trusted brand and their products are extremely sought after.
History of Valcambi Precious Metals
The origins of Valcambi date back to 1961 and a precious metals refinery built under the name of Valori and Cambi. The company was founded by five Swiss businessmen from Ticino in southern Switzerland.
In 1967, the company changed its name to Valcambi. During the same year, Credit Suisse purchased a 50% stake in Valcambi.
In 1979 Credit Suisse started selling gold bars, which were manufactured exclusively at the Valcambi refinery. By 1980, Credit Suisse had bought the remaining 50%, giving them sole ownership of the company.
In 2003 Credit Suisse sold Valcambi to European Gold Refineries (EGR), a company owned by Newmont Mining and a group of private investors. Valcambi continued to manufacture gold bars for Credit Suisse.
In 2015 Newmont Mining sold it’s majority stake in Valcambi to Rajesh Exports Limited who completed the purchase for $400 million in 2017. Rajesh Exports Limited remain 100% owners of Valcambi to this day.
The Valcambi Precious Metals Logo
The Valcambi logo is a frame made up of four equal triangles.
Valcambi describes their logo as follows: “The combination of the four triangles builds into a golden square, a shape used throughout history by many different cultures, including the Tibetan Mandalas, the famous 18th century Italian garden labyrinths, the Chessboard and Da Vinci’s universally known drawings of the human figure. Four triangles drawn into a circle create a motivation typical for many universal symbols and signs such as Yin and Yang, Olin (an Aztec cultural icon) and the mystic cross. The four elements revolving around an empty centre symbolize openness, helpfulness and welcome.”
Valcambi Products
Valcambi offers a distinctive range of bullion products including cast bars, minted bars and CombiBars available in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. They also offer grain in gold and silver and also minted gold round bars.
The CombiBar is a unique investment product that allows investors to buy gold and other precious metals in small, divisible amounts. The CombiBar is essentially a large bar that is made up of smaller, 1 gram bars that can be easily snapped off. This means that investors can buy a larger bar and then divide it into smaller pieces as needed. It is a great way to ensure that investors always have access to small amounts of gold, silver, platinum or palladium that can be easily traded or sold if needed.
The weight options for the Gold CombiBar include 100g, 50g, 1oz, 20g and 5g.
