MKS PAMP participated in a milestone event for the global precious metals market — the official launch of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) Hong Kong Contracts, held on Thursday, 26th June 2025.

Our CEO, James Emmett, was invited as a speaker at the event, marking yet another chapter in our longstanding partnership with the Shanghai Gold Exchange. In his speech, Mr. Emmett reaffirmed MKS PAMP's pioneering role in the development of the international precious metals market and celebrated this latest advancement as a significant opportunity for the Asia-Pacific region.

MKS PAMP has been part of the Shanghai Gold Exchange’s international journey since Shanghai Gold Exchange International (SGEI) launched it in 2014 and remained as one of the most active SGEI members in the past 11 years. MKS PAMP was the first refinery who traded on SGEI and has consistently ranked among the top international members. In 2014, we participated in the first deal and did the first load-in of SGEI contracts. Two years later, in 2016, MKS PAMP became a reference price member and played an important role in the first deal of the Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price.

Now, with the introduction of the Hong Kong contracts, MKS PAMP is proud to once again be an active participant in another historic “first deal” for the SGEI. This engagement reflects our continued commitment to China’s evolving gold market and to Hong Kong’s emerging role as a regional gold trading hub.

To further support MKS PAMP’s strategic ambitions in Asia-Pacific, during his speech, Mr. Emmett reiterated the company’s commitment to expanding its regional presence, deepening its investment, and enhancing its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the region’s precious metals industry.

We look forward to working closely with our partners in the region and beyond to support the continued development of the global gold market.
