Our core business is the storage, analysis, and valuation of high-purity metals. As a custodian, analytical laboratory, and evaluator of metals, we must maintain an indisputable distance from the market. Therefore, we are always very careful to ensure that this is—and remains—the case.

Our clients include private individuals, national and international companies, metal goods manufacturers, financial institutions of all kinds, auditors, and even governments. This means that some have goods to offer while others are seeking them. We are pleased to connect these parties and even facilitate their sales negotiations. To maintain our impartiality and independence, we charge only 1% of the sale price for this consulting service to cover our costs.

However, we offer this service exclusively to our clients. Until 2020, we operated a public trading platform accessible to all market participants. Ultimately, it was a platform of intermediaries who had everything except actual goods and funds. Therefore, we decided to continue providing brokerage services, but only on a personally known and trusted basis. In practice, this means that only goods physically stored in our warehouse are offered, ensuring we know exactly who owns the goods and that the goods actually exist. Only items with documentation from ISE are offered, so we can precisely verify the quantity, condition, origin, age, quality, and price of the goods. We do this because we want to know exactly what we are dealing with. It saves both your time and ours when everything is exactly as declared.

The ISE network has grown organically over the past decades. Currently, ISE AG serves more than 500 active clients and manages several hundred tons of inventory consisting of high-purity metals and related products.

If you wish to store, buy, or sell products within our range of high-purity metals and rare earth elements, you have come to the right place. All goods stored with us come with ISE documentation. As a buyer, you will know exactly what you are receiving and that you will indeed receive it. As a seller, you can be confident that your goods are stored and documented correctly until the sale. As an investor or speculator, you can rest assured that your products are securely stored at ISE and that, when the time comes to sell, you will have perfect documentation in place.

ISE does not buy or sell metals. Instead, ISE currently works with three independent metal dealers in Central Switzerland. This arrangement offers you, as a customer, the advantage of accessing contacts who have already undergone all necessary compliance, KYC, and AML checks. Through coordinated agreements with its partners, ISE has established a classic tripartite relationship that eliminates the need for an expensive trustee while still providing security for all parties involved.

Please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help you find a solution for your metal-related challenges.
