Fine gold made from 100% recycled old gold

The C.HAFNER company can look back on 170 years of history and can be traced back to a "throat preparation" business founded by Carl Hafner in Pforzheim in 1850.

Today, the refinery is one of Europe's leading companies in the field of precious metal recycling. The precious metals recovered from old jewelry, scrap, bulk material or dross are then processed into gold bars for investors as well as semi-finished products and raw materials for industry and medical and dental technology.

Fine gold bars from C.Hafner

The fine gold bars from C.HAFNER consist of 100% recycled old gold ("secondary gold"), which makes them ecologically and ethically harmless. The company has now converted the entire gold extraction process to CO₂-neutral production, so that it can actually offer sustainable gold.

In addition, C.HAFNER is one of 6 German companies to have Good Delivery Status from the London Bullion Market Association, meaning that all gold bars are LBMA certified.

C.Hafner gold bars are available in the common denominations between 1g and 1000g, whereby bars of 1 ounce, 50g and 100g are available both as minted bars and as cast bars. Gold bars under 1 ounce are only available as minted bars, bars over 100g are only available as cast bars.

The gold bars from C.Hafner are issued shrink-wrapped in "CertiCard" packaging with an integrated certificate, which additionally confirms the purity and authenticity of the bar.

Apart from the packaging, C.Hafner ingots are the only ingots in the world with a surface structure that makes any unnoticed subsequent manipulation easily recognizable. Once damaged, the matt surface or the grooved surface is impossible to restore invisibly.
