Valcambi
Cast, with the traces of its casting.
Balerna in Ticino
Where Switzerland borders Italy
The name combines Valori and Cambi, the Italian words for values and exchange. The company was founded in 1961 in Chiasso, the town on the border with Italy. In 1967 it moved its headquarters to Balerna, about two kilometres away.
Its neighbours began in Chiasso, too. Today, three large gold refineries lie in the Mendrisiotto within 4.5 kilometres as the crow flies: Valcambi in Balerna, MKS PAMP in Castel San Pietro and Argor-Heraeus in Mendrisio.
In 2024, three out of four Valcambi employees commuted across the border from Italy.

From fire to fine gold
In Balerna, swissinfo watched molten gold flow straight from the crucible into the moulds for the 400-ounce standard bar, the large bar of the London gold market.
As Valcambi tells it, in the early years a bank lent the plant gold every morning, and in the evening it went back to the bank as new kilo bars.
The bar states in thousandths how pure its gold is. For its large bars, the LBMA requires at least 995.0 thousandths. These bars bear 999,9, known in the gold trade as “four nines”.
1,064 degrees Celsius
At this temperature, gold melts. Only once it is liquid can it flow into the mould.
Cast
A mark like an oath

Weight, gold 999,9 and the assayer-melter’s mark
On the cast bars, valcambi suisse is at the top, the diamond on the left, the weight and gold 999,9 on the right, the ESSAYEUR FONDEUR mark below them and the serial number at the bottom.
The surface remains uneven, with flow marks and hollows from the casting. As Valcambi puts it: anyone who sees this assay mark on a bar knows that Valcambi assayed and cast it.
ESSAYEUR FONDEUR is French for assayer and melter. Only those permitted both to melt and to assay may use this combined mark, and Valcambi applies it itself as a licensed assayer-melter. At Valcambi, they call it an oath engraved in the metal.
The certificate
One bar, one card, one number
AA373842
The cast bar comes with its own certificate, with the line cast bar, the fineness, the weight and its serial number.
The number on the card is the same as the one on the bar.
Every bar bears the mark of those who made it.
