Over 30 Years

1915
The Root

Cairo - Egypt

Express Gold Refining Ltd. is a fourth-generation operated family business. The roots of the company go back to 1915 in the middle-east where the father’s founder started to service the Jewellery District in the heart of downtown Cairo. The same basic principles have been passed down from generation to generation with more technological advances to help serve our clients.

1994
Young_Street
Start up

Young Street

In 1994, Mr Nabil Salama and his son found a need for a company in Toronto that served the jewellers with speed and integrity. Mr. Nabil provided the technical know-how of 50 years in the business, and his son Adel brought in the business and marketing dimension. They worked together from scratch to deliver a company to the industry that gave access to all jewelers of all sizes, the service expected from world-renowned refiners to the local jeweler and manufacturer.

2001
First Move

Dundas Square

As our business expanded and the company's needs required more space, we moved to 21 Dundas Square. In 2001, Atef, Nabil’s youngest son, joined the team to introduce technological advancements that would enable faster settlements in the industry.

Express Gold Refining began using Johnson Matthey for refining our metals. This partnership flourished until we became their preferred dealer in Canada. We have launched numerous advertisements and promotions to encourage the recovery of precious metals in the country. Recently, Asahi Precious Metals acquired Johnson Matthey, and our relationship has since become stronger than ever. We carry all their products and utilize their assaying facility to determine the content of precious metals.

2010
