Swiss precious metals company MKS PAMP opens new regional headquarters in Hong Kong, upgrading the city as one of its global trading centers.

The Hong Kong Invest Promotion Bureau (InvestHK) announced that on October 30, the Swiss gold refining and trading company MKS PAMP opened a new regional headquarters in Hong Kong to leverage its position as the international gold trading center and expand its business in the Asia-Pacific region. Senior management of MKS PAMP, representatives from InvestHK, as well as key stakeholders in the financial and precious metals industry attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. MKS PAMP has been deepening its business in Hong Kong for many years, establishing a local office and building strong relationships with clients. The opening of a new regional headquarters in Central marks its significant expansion in the region on a solid foundation. This move will elevate Hong Kong to be one of the company's three major trading centers globally, alongside Geneva and New York, providing seamless and round-the-clock service covering major time zones to offer the best service to clients in the region. Acting director-general of InvestHK Lily Lai said, "We are pleased to assist MKS PAMP in expanding its business in Hong Kong. This decision not only solidifies Hong Kong's position as an international financial center but also aligns with the government's active promotion of Hong Kong as an international gold trading center. MKS PAMP's expansion demonstrates Hong Kong's attractiveness as a base for global companies to expand their business in the Asia-Pacific region." CEO of MKS PAMP, James Emmett, stated, "Hong Kong is a global financial center with world-class infrastructure and is the natural choice for us to expand our business in the region. We view Hong Kong not only as an important gateway to the gold market in mainland China but also as the core hub for expanding our precious metals market in the Asia-Pacific region." He added, "We highly value the Hong Kong SAR government's continuous efforts to strengthen its position as an international gold trading center. This aligns perfectly with our vision, making Hong Kong our strategic partner for expanding our business in the region and globally." He further explained that MKS PAMP is expanding its team in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region to support the company's strategy to expand its business in the region. The Hong Kong headquarters will serve as a hub for providing comprehensive precious metal trading and financial services, mainly responsible for sales and client relationship management, precious metal trading, financial management, and operational support in the region.
