Our group company, Asahi Pretec collects materials containing precious metals, and we perform inspection, pre-treatment and refining in the specific process at Bando plant. After the purity of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) is increased through these processes, we supply them to final product manufacturing process.

In Japan and the Asian region, materials containing precious metals are collected from various business fields such as jewelry, electronic components, automobiles, and dentistry, and we start precious metals recycling with inspection and pre-treatment processes specialized for each material.
