An industrial complex considered to be amongst the most modern of its kind in the world, Chimet offers its customers maximum value in terms of quality and quantity.
All customers are welcome to personally follow the sampling cycle and the ensuing laboratory analyses. Three samples are taken: one for the client, one for Chimet and a third kept by Chimet for eventual arbitration analysis.

  • Gold, silver, platinum and palladium of differing qualities ready for use.All are pure metals which Chimet recovers from industrial scrap.

  • Chimet, in the interest of its clients and the environment, carries out specific control checks on in-coming material. Each truck load is tested for radioactivity at the checkpoint inside the main entrance.

  • In the plant at Badia al Pino all industrial scrap sent to Chimet is sorted and catalogued accordingto type. In this way, higher yields are achieved during treatment.

  • Chimet can recover even the smallest amounts of precious metals from different types of scrap material through the various chemical-metallurgical stages of the PROCESSING CYCLE.

  • The Research and Development team and test laboratory contribute scientifically to the optimisation of the PROCESSING CYCLE.
  • A test analysis on a sample from the material to be treated determines the content of precious metals in the merchandise. The customer receives official laboratory certification.
  • Industrial scrap is sampled in the presence of either the client or an inspector of his own choosing.
  • After reaching an agreement with the client on the percentage content of precious metals, the refining process commences.
  • Electrolytic cells in the Chimet plant.
  • Chimet is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified. Its gold, silver, platinum and palladium ingots are officially recognized by the "London Bullion Marketing Association"(L.B.M.A) as Good Delivery.
