With Jewelry Production Halted, Metal Refiner Finds Use for Its Gold
United Precious Metal Refining is delivering its gold to a metal futures market and medical equipment manufacturers.
Alden, N.Y.—United Precious Metal Refining is still open during the COVID-19 pandemic, but since much of jewelry production is halted, the company is making good use of its gold during the crisis.
The refiner said it is now delivering gold to the COMEX—a market that trades futures in metals such as gold, silver, copper and aluminum—for future deliveries to help offset the shortage from stalled overseas deliveries.
It is also delivering gold to medical equipment manufacturers working on equipment to help in the fight against the disease.
“Never has the importance of the supply chain mattered more than it does right now,” David Siminski, vice president of sales, marketing and technical, said in a press release.
