History
Metalor bar manufacturing dates back formally to 1918, when Swiss Bank Corporation acquired the Bank of Le Locle in Switzerland. Since then, Metalor products are manufactured in conformity with renowned Swiss excellence. Today, Metalor fine gold bars, grains, and other bullion products, Ag, Pt, and Pd are produced at our LBMA and/or LPPM accredited sites in Switzerland, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China. Metalor assayer hallmark is the quality guarantee for Metalor products, which are distributed and recognized in all major financial markets.
Mint
Minted bars refer to the manufacturing process that is applied to create them. The process begins by heating gold material in a furnace until it turns to a molten slurry. During the heating process, all unwanted impurities in the slurry are removed until only molten gold of high purity is left, most often at around 99.99%. The molten gold is then poured into moulds, usually in the shape of large bars, where it cools and solidifies. The solid gold is then inserted into a mill that rolls the gold into panels with a uniform dimension. Afterwards, the gold panels are inserted into a blanking press that punches blanks out of the gold panels. The next step involves the weighing of each gold blank to ensure that it is neither underweight nor overweight and those that pass this test are then polished for them to obtain a shiny surface. The last stage involves the minting process where the gold blank is inserted into a minting press that presses its die with huge force to transfer the design from the die onto the gold blank. The result is a minted bar. The newly minted gold bar is then inspected before being sealed in a transparent tamper-proof protective package.
