According to estimates, private investors in Germany alone own more than 3,000 tons of gold. If so, they would have the same amount of gold in their portfolios as the German Central Bank, which possesses the second largest official gold reserves in the world.
Today as in the past, many private investors rely on precious metal bars from Heraeus, one of the most tradition-rich producers of investment bars in Europe.
Heraeus offers its gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars via banks, savings banks and selected precious metal dealers in Germany, as well as in a number of other European countries. Please speak to one of our sales partners if you are interested in our bars. Heraeus does not sell precious metal bars directly to private investors.
On the other hand, if you would like to sell your scrap gold, you can learn more about how to do so on this website in the section entitled “Purchase of scrap metal.”
