About ASMP – Founded in 1978, the Swiss Precious Metals Association (ASMP) brings together 16 companies engaged in the processing and trading of precious metals. Its members refine approximately 75% of Switzerland’s gold imports (worth around USD 70 billion), and include three of the world’s largest refineries. The Swiss refining industry adheres to the guidelines of the London Bullion Market Association, the sector’s leading authority, as well as to OECD standards for the responsible sourcing of materials from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. At Swiss federal level, companies in the sector are regulated under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and monitored by the Central Office for Precious Metals Control, part of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS).
