Schöne Edelmetaal B.V. is one of the oldest precious metal companies in Europe, established in 1739 in Amsterdam. Originally serving as inspectors of gold and silver for the Dutch Exchange Bank, the company has evolved into a trader and processor of precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Schöne has a strong reputation for high-quality metal products, including Umicore investment bars, granules, and semi-finished products for industrial use. The company also offers reliable services for the recycling of precious metals within the Benelux. Schöne primarily serves scrap collectors, jewelers, goldsmiths, and financial institutions and investors. Through the Umicore Goldshop, Schöne offers Umicore bars and ingots to the Belgian private market.
