Open dashboard Create alert Track portfolio

Refinery profile

PAMP Suisse is part of the MKS PAMP Group. Valcambi is Switzerland’s largest precious-metals refiner. Both bars resell with minimal verification overhead worldwide.

Assay and packaging

PAMP Fortuna bars ship in tamper-evident CertiPAMP packaging with serial-matched assay card. Valcambi uses similar assay-card packaging. Damaged packaging can reduce resale premium even when the bar itself is fine.

CombiBar format

Valcambi pioneered the CombiBar (a sheet of breakable 1-gram squares). PAMP offers similar Multigram products. These trade higher premium but add divisibility.
