Our time in Shanghai has come to an end. That’s a wrap on an incredible week at the Shanghai Platinum Week (SPW) in Suzhou, China! ✨ Our team on the ground, EFFY WU, Carol Ma, Leonie Fiona Pfyl, Oliver Frei, Doris Bao 鲍起慧 and Raphael Fredy Pfyl, engaged in one of the most influential annual events for the global Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) industry. 🚀 Participating in this event was a powerful boost for Helveticor’s growth and expanding market presence. Connecting directly with local industry leaders and decision-makers allowed us to unlock new avenues for collaboration and strengthen our regional footprint. Being right at the pulse of this fast-moving industry gives us the firsthand strategic value needed to drive future-oriented solutions, ensuring we are perfectly positioned to support our partners with unmatched, on-the-ground expertise. 💡 Key Insights & Takeaways: China’s 'Urban Mines' & the Circular Economy: With its dominant position in electronics and PCBs, China sits on the world's most valuable 'urban mines.' This makes the region a vital link in the PGM value chain, connecting electronic scrap directly to secondary refining and driving the circular economy forward. ♻️ The Shift to Recycling: The financial health of PGM mines will depend heavily on their by-products to support their main business. Moving forward, future PGM prices will depend less on traditional mining and much more on recycling dynamics. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to connect, share knowledge, and discuss future opportunities with us!🤝 Want to find out more about our local footprint and how we can support you?
