StoneX completes acquisition of JBR Recovery’s recycling and refining business, to deepen the company’s end-to-end metals offering

  • JBR Recovery Ltd (“JBR”) is one of only two UK companies accredited by the LBMA for the supply of 'Good Delivery' silver to the London Bullion Market
  • Acquisition extends StoneX’s metals offering into sourcing and refining

StoneX Group Inc. (“StoneX”; NASDAQ: SNEX), has today announced that one of its subsidiaries, StoneX Metals Limited, has completed its acquisition of JBR’s precious metal recovery and refinery business. The acquisition will deepen the StoneX group’s already market leading metals offering, by allowing it to own a significant part of the supply chain, as well as meet the growing global demand for recycled silver.

JBR is a processor of materials containing silver, gold and other platinum group metals (PGM). It specialises in the reuse and recycling of secondary or waste materials which it then processes and produces Good Delivery silver bars.

JBR is one of only two UK companies accredited by the LBMA for the supply of 'Good Delivery' silver to the London Bullion Market, producing more than 250 tonnes of silver per annum. The original business was founded in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and has ties to the precious metal refining and recovery industry since the 18th century.

The acquisition will expand the StoneX group’s precious metals business to include the owning and refining of precious metals for the first time, enabling end-to-end management of metal trading from point of supply, production, and authentication through to the sale and delivery to the end client.

Michael Skinner, Global Head of Metals, StoneX, commented: “This acquisition marks a historic moment for the StoneX group and its metals business. The acquisition of JBR is testament to the continued commitment of StoneX in furthering our offering in this market and providing our clients with a full end-to-end service and building our metals ecosystem. We will be working closely with the JBR team to ensure we continue to build on its strong reputation and hundreds of years of service in this market.”

Simon Meddings, Managing Director, JBR Recovery, commented: “JBR has grown from strength to strength over recent years and the acquisition by the StoneX group is a momentous chapter in our history. The acquisition will aid further business growth and opportunity, enabling the offering of an enhanced service and product line to existing and new global customers. There are many synergies between both companies, and I look forward to working closely with the StoneX Metals team over the coming months. We are proud to be part of the StoneX group.”
