rom the outside, the manufacturer/refiner equation looks fairly simple. A manufacturer generates precious metal scrap. The scrap is sent to a refiner. The refiner processes the scrap, recovers the metal, and hands the manufacturer a check based on what comes out. And there you have it.

However, take a closer look at refiners' services and you’ll find that they can do more for your operation than melt metal. They can suggest ways to maximize your returns, hedge your metal against market fluctuations, provide custom alloys, and more. And all you need to do is ask.
