Swiss Precious Metals Firm Forms Regional HQ in Hong Kong

Geneva-headquartered previous metals firm MKS PAMP has established its regional headquarters in Hong Kong to leverage the city’s position as an international gold trading center.

MKS PAMP has inaugurated its new regional headquarters in Hong Kong, according to a statement. Core functions based in the city will include regional sales and client relationship management, precious metals trading, treasury activities and operational support.

Hong Kong will become one of the firm’s three global trading hubs, alongside its global headquarters in Geneva as well as New York.

International Gold Trading Center

According to MKS PAMP CEO James Emmett, the firm values the Hong Kong government’s ongoing initiatives to strengthen the city’s status as an international gold trading center. In his recent 2025 policy address, local leader John Lee said that authorities will look to support the establishment of gold storage facilities with a target capacity of 2,000 tons in three years and encourage gold traders to set up or expand refineries.

«Hong Kong's world-class infrastructure and established role as a global financial center make it a natural choice for this expansion. We see Hong Kong not only as a vital link to the Chinese Mainland's gold market but also its position at the nexus of Asia Pacific's precious metals market,» commented Emmett.

Growth Strategy

He added that the firm will look to enlarge its team in Hong Kong and across Asia Pacific as part of its regional growth strategy.

Headquartered in Geneva, MKS PAMP is a precious metals firm with 60 years of expertise, specializing in trading, refining, and minting gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other platinum group metal products.
