The history of PAMP Switzerland
PAMP was founded in 1977 and is based in Ticino, Switzerland. Over time, it has emerged as the leading bullion brand in the world, with a strong presence in precious metals markets worldwide.
In 2021, PAMP SA merged with MKS (Switzerland) SA, a distinguished precious metals trading house, to form the present-day entity MKS PAMP SA. This strategic union has not only enhanced the group's collective expertise but also increased stakeholder value and reinforced its commitment to sustainable practices.
It’s worth mentioning that PAMP was the first to introduce an art piece, Lady Fortuna, onto their ingots. This bold move set industry standards and made Lady Fortuna silver and gold bars world-renowned.
