A BRIEF HISTORY OF ARGOR-HERAEUS
The company was founded as Argor SA in Chiasso in 1951 and, for a time, was owned by the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS). In 1999, Argor-Heraeus management took full control of the company. It has a range of prestigious shareholders, including Commerzbank International SA and the Austrian Mint.
While still under UBS control, Argor-Heraeus opened their refinery in Mendrisio. In 1998, the refinery was expanded and Argor-Heraeus operations have grown ever since. The mint opened offices in Santiago, Chile in 2004 and soon after constituted a German affiliate, Argor-Heraeus Deutschland, and Argor-Heraeus Italia.
In 2012, a new ancillary Argor-Heraeus plant was completed that enabled the company to double production. It was also the year that Argor-Heraeus set its sights on a commitment to sustainability, installing one of the region’s largest solar panel and electricity generation systems.

I'm super happy with them. Id love to get more but the premium on them is so high. I think I paid $10.00 over spot back when gold was $1200...
