Heimerle + Meule

Heimerle + Meule is a German precious metals company based in Pforzheim. Founded in 1845 by entrepreneur Julius Dittler, it describes itself as Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. Its product and service range comprises precious metal recycling, precious metal trading, precious metal semi-finished products for jewellery and technology, electroplating chemistry and devices, surface coating, investment products and dental products. The company states it has a workforce of around 320 employees and serves the jewellery and watch industry, automotive suppliers in the electrotechnical/electronics sector, dental companies and others. Since 1960 the Lübeck Possehl Group has been its exclusive shareholder, and the company operates as part of the Heimerle + Meule Group.

Heimerle + Meule's history begins in 1845, when entrepreneur Julius Dittler was preparing to set up a scrap company in the then small town of Pforzheim. On a commission basis he began recovering precious metals from production waste products, a venture that became the foundation for Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. In the second half of the 19th century the company rebranded as Heimerle + Meule, first as a general partnership. At the end of the First World War it went public as an Aktiengesellschaft (public limited company). In 1935 it changed to a limited partnership. After a silent partnership from 1951 to 1960, the Lübeck Possehl Group became the exclusive shareholder, a partnership that continues today. Additional company parts were added, including after taking over the former Cookson Precious Metals Group, forming the Heimerle + Meule Group (Heimerle + Meule, Cooksongold, Weston Beamor, Cookson-CLAL, …).
