ABC Bullion

Sydney Bullion Dealer Trading Since 1972

ABC Bullion is the trading name of Australian Bullion Company (NSW) Pty Ltd, an Australian precious metals dealer that has traded continuously since 1972, when it began as a distributor of bullion products throughout Australia. Its head office is at 38 Martin Place in the Sydney CBD, a site that opened as the company's global retail flagship in May 2023, and it also operates an office in Perth. The business has traded bullion in Hong Kong since 2013.

ABC Bullion is part of Pallion, the precious metal services group formed in late 2014 through the merger of ABC Bullion and the Palloys Group. Its sister companies under Pallion include ABC Refinery, ABC Mint, Palloys, Custodian Vaults, W.J. Sanders and Goldenage International. ABC Refinery, formed in 2012 as a joint venture between the Palloys Group and ABC Bullion, is the exclusive manufacturer of ABC Bullion products and holds accreditations from the LBMA, COMEX, the Shanghai Gold Exchange and NATA.

ABC Bullion itself holds full LBMA membership. The company sells gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion, all produced by ABC Refinery to a 999.9+ fineness standard, and is an official distributor for both PAMP Suisse and the Royal Canadian Mint. Beyond outright sales, trading and buybacks, its services include pool allocated precious metals, investment through self managed superannuation funds (SMSFs), insured vault storage through Custodian Vaults, and Gold Saver, an automated bullion savings plan.

From 1972 Distributor to Martin Place Flagship

Australian Bullion Company (NSW) Pty Ltd commenced operations in 1972 as a distributor of bullion products throughout Australia, and the ABC Bullion name has traded continuously ever since. The modern shape of the business took form in 2012, when the Palloys Group and ABC Bullion formed a joint venture to acquire ABC Refinery, which went on to become the exclusive manufacturer of ABC Bullion products. The following year brought two expansions at once: ABC Bullion commenced bullion trading in Hong Kong, and Custodian Vaults, a private secure vaulting business created as a joint venture between ABC Bullion and the Palloys Group, opened in Australia.

In late 2014, ABC Bullion and the Palloys Group merged under the holding company Pallion. That same year, ABC Refinery was awarded NATA accreditation for the laboratory analysis of gold, silver and their alloys, compliant with ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005.

November 2015 brought an unusual commission: the Victoria Racing Club awarded ABC Bullion production rights to the Melbourne Cup suite of trophies, making it only the third manufacturer of the Melbourne Cup in the race's history. Melbourne Cups produced by ABC Bullion are the first made from metal mined, fabricated and assembled wholly within Australia. A month later, in December 2015, ABC Refinery was appointed to the LBMA Good Delivery List for gold.

The accreditation milestones continued through the following years. In April 2018, ABC Refinery was accredited by the Shanghai Gold Exchange, at the time one of only seven international companies approved to sell gold directly to China. In late 2018, it became the first major precious metals refinery in the world to install an Acidless Refining System. In June 2020, ABC Refinery was added to the COMEX good delivery list for gold, and in November 2021 it achieved both LBMA Good Delivery accreditation and COMEX good delivery listing for silver.

The trophy work expanded too: ABC Bullion was awarded production rights to the ATP Cup in 2020 and to the Australian Open suite of trophies in 2022. In May 2023, the company opened its global retail flagship at 38 Martin Place in Sydney, relocating its head office from its prior address at Level 6, 88 Pitt Street.
