Reischauer Joins the Heimerle + Meule Group

Precious metal manufacturer Heimerle + Meule has begun this year by announcing the acquisition of Swiss company Reischauer, which produces blanks and mintings made of precious metal and copper materials.

Founded in 1913, Reischauer initially supplied semi-finished goods and precious metal products to jewellery processing companies, before beginning production of gold and silver medals in the 1980s.

More recently, the company has built up its business activities in the coin industry, working exclusively in the sector for just over a decade.

The Heimerle + Meule Group, which represents the precious metal processing division within the Lübeck-based Possehl Group, has become one of the key players in the precious metal sector. It entered the coin business in 2013 with the takeover of the Cookson Group, including the shares of the Spanish coin blank producer Sempsa, among others.
