Group History

Henyep’s long history began in 1977 when it was founded as an active member of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society, which today is still one of the world’s oldest precious metals exchanges. From these beginnings, the Group expanded its scope into a diversified global conglomerate establishing a presence in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Today, the Group continues to build upon this foundation and invest in emerging opportunities. As Henyep moves into the future, it will continue to invest in human resources, technology, and infrastructure enabling it to outpace today’s fast moving economy.
