Today, Heimerle + Meule GmbH is not only Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. It has also developed into a leading international market participant in the precious metals sector. The former processor of production waste from the local jewelry industry now presents itself as a full-service provider in precious metal processing for numerous industries.
The product and service portfolio of the traditional company, with headquarters in Pforzheim and a branch in Vienna, now includes precious metal recycling and trading, semi-finished products for jewelry and technology, electroplating equipment and chemicals, the company's own surface coating, and investment and dental products.
The areas of application are no less diverse. In addition to the jewelry and watch industry, Heimerle + Meule also supplies automotive suppliers, the electrical and electronics industry, dental laboratories and many more.
Of course, responsibility towards people and the environment is also very important at Heimerle + Meule and is lived out every day. Numerous certifications prove that the gold used by Heimerle + Meule and all products made from it meet the highest ethical standards, such as the certification by the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) as a conflict-free gold processor or the certification by the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) according to the Code of Practice (CoP).
In addition, Germany's oldest refinery strives to achieve the most sustainable production method and environmentally friendly recycling possible using the latest technology. In addition, the precious metal specialist stands for controlled quality and tested safety. Today, almost 180 years after its founding, Heimerle + Meule is much more than a precious metal specialist based in Pforzheim.
With the formation of HM Precious Metals in 2013, the Pforzheim-based company reached a new dimension. With over 1,500 employees at locations in 9 countries, HM Precious Metals is one of the largest European precious metal processors. The multinational company can now respond even more quickly to the needs of its customers and to market developments.
