Renowned heritage. Remarkable precision. Asahi Refining combines nearly 200 years of industry experience with forward-looking innovation to bring you the world's leading provider of precious metal assaying, refining, and bullion products. Two organizations founded on quality, precision, and expertise have come together to create a global footprint that services mining, recycling, institutional investment, and distribution. A legacy of excellence and an entrepreneurial spirit results in the synthesis of unrivaled perfection. But at the heart of it all is honesty—in the long-lasting relationships we build and superior products and services we provide to our clients. Asahi Refining was formed when Asahi Holdings acquired the nearly 200 year old Johnson Matthey gold & silver refining businesses. Asahi Holdings is a Tokyo, Japan based precious metals recycling company (collection, recovery, refinement) founded in 1952. The company has approximately 1,360 employees. Throughout the years it has grown from a single location recovering silver from photographic solutions in to a London Good Delivery refiner now operating in 6 countries through its subsidiaries processing gold, silver, and platinum group metals.
