Our mission:
a responsible and sustainable
precious metals value chain

OCIM is an independent, family-owned group positioned at the heart of the precious metals value chains

Founded in Paris in 1961, the OCIM Group is fully owned and managed by the holding company OCIM Finance. Having started as a real estate developer and asset manager OCIM has a long experience of managing complex projects and tangible assets.
OCIM is now fully dedicated to the precious metals sector, producing and trading gold and silver and sourcing strategic platinum grade metals, including platinum, palladium and rhodium.
OCIM carries out a dual and complementary activity as a trader and financier. As a trader, OCIM buys and sells throughout the value chain of the assets concerned, from producers to end users. As a financier, OCIM funds the operations of the value chain, mainly through short term prepayment contracts.
OCIM also operates two integrated gold processing plants in Peru and produces responsible gold out of ore purchased from local Artisanal & Small Scale Miners.
OCIM has teams based in Paris, Geneva and Lima.

Our goal: to reconcile the expectations of all players in the value chain.

Our business model is based on a twofold observation: a significant proportion of precious metal production comes from often informal Artisanal & Small Scale Miners (ASM) while end-users are now demanding traceable supplies that genuinely benefit local communities. Our role is to bring these two previously separate worlds closer together with a progressive approach to enhance the sources of production up to the LBMA Good Delivery standards.
