Markets we serve

Original Equipment Manufacturers

Many manufacturers incorporate precious metals within their products or in their manufacturing processes. However, a portion of that material doesn’t make it into the final product or it becomes diverted into byproducts. Sipi delivers tailored plans and end-to-end assistance for recovering value from these assets in an environmentally friendly manner.

E-Scrap

E-scrap collectors can sell their material outright to a 3rd party or send it to Sipi to have it refined on a lot by lot basis. Precious metals returns from electronics are constantly changing. Our role is to determine the true value of each lot by our disciplined sampling and refining process.

Other precious metals refiners

Specialty precious metals refiners frequently rely on Sipi to further process their material. Sipi offers unique capability for refiners who need a proven downstream refining partner.

Precious metal mining companies

Mining companies typically extract 90% of the gold or silver recoverable in their materials. The remaining percentage, however, often remains out of reach, tied up in by-product that require more specialized handling. Sipi offers smart, efficient ways to reclaim as much value from that by-product as possible.
