ARGOR-HERAEUS SA expressly disapproves of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in violation of international law, and has therefore decided not contribute in any way to the financing of Russia.

With the agreement signed in the past few days, Argor-Heraeus, one of the global leaders in precious metal processing, has become the 100% owner of Erbas, a historic, Ticino-based company active in the watchmaking and jewellery sector. The joint decision further expands the range of services offered by Argor-Heraeus. It consolidates the company’s role as a reference point for the global luxury watch and jewellery sector.

Leadership change at Argor-Heraeus in Mendrisio/Switzerland: Dr. Robin Kolvenbach (36) will succeed Christoph Wild, the current co-CEO and Delegate of the Board of Directors, on 1 March. In the future, he will lead the company together with Co-CEO Dr. Steffen Voss and continue the successful strategic development of Argor-Heraeus.
