PRECIOUS METAL TRADING:
TRANSPARENT. CERTIFIED. CONFLICT-FREE.

Gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium are essential raw materials for many companies – and at the same time significant assets. With SAXONIA, your precious metals are in safe hands – whether recovered through recycling, newly purchased or held as a balance in your precious metal account.

Internationally connected
As a certified manufacturer and trading partner listed with the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM), SAXONIA stands for quality and reliability. Our experienced specialists handle transfers as well as purchases and sales directly through international commercial banks and precious metal trading venues – reliably and at any time, in accordance with your instructions.

Responsible sourcing

SAXONIA applies strict requirements to the sourcing and trading of precious metals. These include, in particular, verified origin from conflict-free sources, as set out in our Code of Conduct. Our certifications provide transparency and security in precious metal sourcing and support a reliable supply chain.

INTERNATIONALLY TRADABLE

As an approved and certified LBMA silver bar manufacturer, SAXONIA meets internationally recognised requirements. Our 1,000 oz silver bars meet the “Good Delivery” standard and are therefore tradable worldwide.

We also hold LPPM accreditations for platinum and palladium. We supply the corresponding bars and sponge in “Good Delivery” quality. In addition, SAXONIA products comply with the voluntary ASTM quality standards for technical goods in international trade.

For you, this means verified quality and global marketability through banks and precious metal dealers.
