The valcambi Logo is designed to represent 4 triangles, and likewise a diagonally cut 400 Ounce gold bullion bar. Valcambi investment bullion products are recognised and coveted worldwide, due to their high quality and reputation among investors. Valcambi still continue to manufacture precious metals bars in their own name, and in the name of Credit Suisse. Today, Valcambi is 95% owned by REL Singapore PTE Ltd, located in Singapore, and Rajesh Exports Limited, in Bangalore, India own the remaining 5% share of the company. In 2001 Credit Suisse withdrew from the precious metals business, and sold Valcambi to a company called European Global Refiners, which was then sold onto Global Gold Refineries Ltd. Credit Suisse gold and silver bars quickly became recognised worldwide, as they were one of the first financial institutions to enter the retail precious metals market targeting individual investors in the 1970's and 1980's.
It was at this time that Credit Suisse began to enter the precious metals market, and Valcamb began to refine gold and silver bullion bars on behalf of the bank. Through its ownership via Credit Suisse, Valcambi precious metals products were granted COMEX and London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) good delivery status. In 1968 the refinery was purchased by Credit Suisse, which was then and still is one of Switzerland's largest and most successful private banks. Valcambi SA was originally founded in 1961 in Switzerland, under the name Valor & Cambi.
The company specializes in the refining and manufacturing of precious metals, including investment products for institutional and retail investors.
Valcambi SA is one of Switzerland's largest precious metals refineries, located in the Italian part of the country, in Balerna, Ticino. Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
