Security, Logistics, and Storage Solutions with Swiss Quality Standards in Hong Kong
Secure valuables logistics and transport solutions in the Hong Kong economic area
Hong Kong is one of the world’s most important financial and trading hubs for precious metals. As part of the Planzer Group, a traditional Swiss family-owned company, we are firmly established in the Asian market. We are strategically expanding our presence, offering international banks, precious metal traders, and institutional clients direct access to secure, efficient, and trust-based logistics and storage solutions based on Swiss quality standards.
As a family-run Swiss company, we combine global experience with local market knowledge. Our on-site team personally guides clients through complex projects and ensures smooth processes along the entire value chain, from the initial enquiry to final delivery or storage.
Strategic location in the Asian precious metals trade
Hong Kong stands out due to its perfect, central location within the APAC region and is continuously gaining relevance as a physical storage and trading hub for gold. The location offers market participants the ideal Asian entry point outside of Mainland China, without losing immediate proximity to the Chinese market. The region benefits from immense market dynamics, global connectivity, and a strong financial ecosystem, ensuring that Hong Kong remains the crucial gateway to the Chinese mainland.
Thanks to our office in Kowloon and our central capacities, we are in the immediate vicinity of banks, trading venues, and international business partners. This enables us to have shorter decision-making paths, direct communication, and even closer support for our clients throughout the region.
Future-Proof Infrastructure for Modern Assets
The precious metals market in Hong Kong never stands still. In addition to classic physical trading, the region is rapidly gaining importance as a pioneer in the digitization of tangible assets (tokenization) and as a trading hub for international currencies such as the offshore yuan. At the same time, institutions and family offices are increasingly seeking geopolitical diversification through geographically dispersed inventories.
Helveticor provides the solid foundation for this: We deliver the uncompromising physical security and regulatory compliance that are mandatory for both traditional banking and modern, digitally backed precious metal assets. This allows our clients to bridge the gap perfectly: they store their assets physically in the Asian region but benefit from the legal security, stability, and proven compliance standards of an owner-managed Swiss corporate group.

Service-Oriented and Culturally Rooted
The local market is extremely pragmatic and service-oriented. A large part of the activities is based on short-notice releases, close local dealer networks, and the physical business with investment bars.
This dynamic is also deeply rooted in the culture: the local population traditionally shows immense interest in precious metals. The proverbial “average citizen” in Hong Kong closely follows market values and can tell you the current gold and silver prices without hesitation.
