Engelhard 5 oz 999 Casting Silver Bar

Engelhard Australia bars were made into the 1980s until later ceasing operations, but has since made a comeback to produce Silver Bullion investment bars. Engelhard Australia is an independent Australian company dealing in precious metal products. They have a long history in refining, assaying, manufacture and trading in precious metals. Engelhard Australia was founded as Glover and Goode Pty Limited by Charles Engelhard Sr in 1920. In 1958, Glover and Goode was incorporated into American corporation, Engelhard Industries, along with the Baker Group of Companies and was later renamed Engelhard Australia. Australian precious metals operations were then based in Thomastown, Victoria, until the refinery was sold to Deak International in the late 1980s.

Engelhard Australia formerly produced gold blanks for the Royal Australian Mint and in 1964 became an official Australian supplier of gold under the Australian Banking Act., and LBMA accreditation for gold bars was approved in 1966. Engelhard-CLAL was formed as a joint venture between Engelhard Industries and Comptoir Lyon-Alemand Louyot, a French precious metals fabricator. Engelhard Australia was incorporated into Engelhard-CLAL group in 1996. Engelhard Industries retained an interest until 1998 when it divested completely from the joint venture.

Engelhard-CLAL Australia sold its Hong Kong and Singapore subsidiaries of Engelhard-CLAL to Metalor. The Engelhard-CLAL group broke up and ceased operations worldwide whilst leaving the Australian division to operate independently in 2004. In 2014, Engelhard Australia decided to re-enter the precious metals market and is proud to announce its return as a manufacturer and distributor of quality precious metal products.
