History
The roots of the German company go back to a family-run pharmacy founded in 1660. Gradually, gold processing was added to their field of interest in the 19th century. Today, the Heraeus Group includes companies in the environmental, electronics, healthcare and industrial applications sectors. Heraeus is a leading provider of services and products in the investment metals sector. It brings together all activities related to its comprehensive expertise in this field - from trading in gold, silver or platinum products to their recycling.
Gold and silver bullion
German 24K gold bars meet the London Good Delivery standard and are therefore recognised in all world markets. Proofs of authenticity such as the supplier's logo, refiner, unique number, purity, weight are marked on the top of the ingot. The front of the ingot indicates the producer, net weight in grams, purity, unique number and the Heraeus logo. The reverse side of the ingot is clear with no inscriptions, except for Multicard, MultiDisc and Kinebar ingots where the logo is shown.
Some gold ingots have the manufacturer's logo on the reverse side, laser-engraved using a special Kinebar® holographic technique. When the angle of the incident light changes, the image on the ingot gradually changes, creating a moving image effect. This technology is unique in the world.
