Tägerwilen / Wiesbaden, April 1, 2026 – Bullion International Group (BIG), part of the MKS PAMP GROUP, and SOLIT Group AG today announce the successful completion of the previously announced transaction, in which BIG has acquired a majority stake in SOLIT Group AG.
With the completion of the transaction, both companies are laying the foundation for a leading precious metals ecosystem in Europe with global reach. The goal of the partnership is for SOLIT Group and BIG, as strategic partners, to successfully tap into new markets and leverage the synergies of both companies in a targeted manner. This strengthened position is expected to result in a leading European presence across all key segments of the precious metals market, such as retail, wholesale, banking partnerships, embedded finance, digital offerings, physical logistics, and comparison and information platforms.
The combined entity offers a powerful ecosystem of complementary brands, in which BIG’s established European portfolio—including Gold Avenue (EU e-commerce retail) and MTB Europe (wholesale)—is combined with SOLIT’s platforms (goldsilbershop.de, flexgold.com) as well as the portals gold.de, goldpreis.de, silber.de, and silberpreis.de. This integrated network provides customers with exceptional access, comprehensive sales capabilities, and deep product expertise across Europe.
“The successful completion of the transaction marks an important milestone in our corporate development. Together with BIG, we are significantly expanding our strategic opportunities and laying the foundation for further growth and innovation,” says Robert Vitye, CEO of SOLIT Group AG.
Ken Lewis, CEO of Bullion International Group, adds: “This closing marks a pivotal moment for the Bullion International Group and for the precious metals industry in Europe. What began as a vision to build the world’s most trusted, integrated, and transparent precious metals platform is now a reality. Together with the SOLIT team and the support of the MKS PAMP GROUP, we are uniquely positioned to offer investors—from private individuals to large institutions—service, security, and digital innovation at an institutional level.”
The SOLIT Group will remain operationally independent going forward. The existing management team led by CEO Robert Vitye will continue to lead the company as before and, as part of the partnership, will assume additional responsibility for European growth.
