Successful Deals with PwC: Sale of a majority stake in SOLIT Group AG to Bullion International Group

PwC Switzerland is pleased to announce that it has advised SOLIT Group AG, a leading precious metals company, in connection with the sale of a majority stake to Bullion International Group (BIG), part of Swiss MKS PAMP GROUP. PwC acted as lead advisor to SOLIT Group AG and provided financial due diligence services. The strategic objective of the transaction is to create a leading integrated European precious metals ecosystem.

SOLIT Group AG, founded in 2008 and employing around 190 professionals, is one of the leading precious metal trading companies in the German speaking region. The group operates a comprehensive brand portfolio across the physical gold and silver value chain (including goldsilbershop.de, flexgold.com and gold.de), offers savings plans and storage solutions, serves more than 500,000 customers, and partners with over 300 banks and thousands of financial service providers.

Bullion International Group (BIG), founded in 2024 by the MKS PAMP GROUP, is a global platform that brings together leading precious metals brands such as APMEX, OneGold, MTB, GoldAvenue, Bullion.com and the Bullion Card to combine technological innovation, scale and market reach. MKS PAMP GROUP, a Swiss founded integrated consortium with more than 60 years of industry experience, spans the full precious metals value chain through refineries, mints, trading and logistics, and employs over 1,400 people worldwide, providing BIG with secure upstream access and a broad global footprint.

The partnership is founded on strategic complementarity and a shared long-term vision. It will accelerate SOLIT’s internationalisation, secure efficient access to physical metals through MKS PAMP GROUP’s integrated value chain, and support expansion in digital channels and European markets. As part of the integration, BIG’s existing European activities will be complemented by SOLIT’s presence in German speaking countries. The GoldAvenue team in Geneva will expand its footprint across Switzerland, France, Italy, the UK and other European markets under SOLIT leadership. The European wholesale business will be consolidated under the MTB Metals brand and expanded jointly, and the newly acquired logistics centre will be used across all brands.

The transaction was signed on January 9, 2026, and is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to customary completion conditions. The parties have agreed to keep the transaction details confidential.
