From creating bespoke jewellery to safekeeping and transportation of gold bullion and gold jewellery, UAE-based SML Gold offers global buyers and investors a range of services, making investment in the yellow metal an extremely attractive option. The company’s senior management talks about its global operations and offer insights into various aspects of their unique organisation.
Safe logistics
Dharmesh Narendra Sangani, Director of Logistics elaborates: “Security is paramount at SML Gold. We use secure containers with tamper-proof seals and advanced monitoring systems such as real-time tracking systems and automation which ensure transparency and efficiency in the door-to-door transportation of gold. Byintegrating artificial intelligence to optimise routes and blockchain for better traceability, SML is able to offer greater visibility and reliability in the transport of the client’s precious goods.
“In addition, our protocols include regular audits, security training for our staff, and working closely with local authorities to ensure maximum protection throughout the journey.”
And that’s not all. SML Gold’s global presence ensures effective navigation through various customs and logistics regulations, says Dharmesh. “We have teams of local experts who understand regional specificities, and who work in synergy with our international network to ensure smooth and compliant operations,” he adds.
Creating and safekeeping
Prasanna Muthulingam Director of Internal Operations explains: “We not only have an on-site production facility as well as designers and craftsmen who can create gold and diamond jewellery of varying karat weights, but we leverage manufacturing facilities in India and Middle East as well. Plus our network of suppliers across Asia ensure our discerning clients based in Europe, UK and North America who want worldclass bespoke jewellery for their bullion, have all the options they need. We also create bullion for those who look at gold purely as an investment. And for those looking for a safe place to park their gold, we have created SML vaults in the UAE. We have over 400 vaults, offering a secure storage option called ‘individual custody’ to our clients.
Investment and trading
Patrick Laurent N’dom, In charge of the Financial Division: “For those wanting to remit gold bullion to a country where we have a physical presence, SML has a unique service. You can now buy gold from us and we will deliver it for you. Once there, it is up to you whether you wish to hold on to it for future needs or sell it to meet your current liquidity needs.
“We also allow our clients to bring their gold to the UAE through a scheme called GIFT or Gold International Fast Transfer. Through this scheme, we not only facilitate international transportation of gold to UAE, but offer storage, or vault facilities in case the client wishes to hold on to their precious investment,” he explains. “We believe GIFT is a very unique way of making the flow of payment and commodities smooth, secure, and fast.”
