Who We Are

Specialized expertise from material intake to recovery.

We process automotive and industrial catalysts with a clear focus on recovering platinum, palladium, and rhodium while maximizing material value and reducing waste.

Our technical facilities and experienced team ensure that every catalyst stream is handled with care and attention to detail. From material classification and preparation to sampling, assay, and recovery planning, we select the appropriate route for each material type.

Advanced processing technology allows us to recover valuable PGMs from spent catalysts efficiently. This approach supports both commercial value and responsible resource use across the recycling chain.

Two family legacies.
A shared future.

The story of AG Precious Metals Group begins with two companies established independently by the AZARSHAB and GHAHREMANI families. The AZARSHAB family founded Azar Precious Metals Recycling, while the GHAHREMANI family founded Ghahremani Catalyst. Today, AG brings together the experience, market knowledge and technical capabilities developed through these two businesses.

Azar Precious Metals Recycling

The AZARSHAB family

Founders of Azar Precious Metals Recycling

Through Azar Precious Metals Recycling, the family developed practical experience in catalyst materials, recycling operations and precious metals markets. This background is one of the foundations of AG’s approach to material processing and recovery.

Ghahremani Catalyst

The GHAHREMANI family

Founders of Ghahremani Catalyst

Through Ghahremani Catalyst, the family developed industry relationships, operational knowledge and a disciplined commercial approach. This experience complements the group’s technical expertise and supports its work with industry partners.

Two families in our name. A shared purpose in our work.

The A represents AZARSHAB and the G represents GHAHREMANI. AG Precious Metals Group carries both family legacies forward under one identity. Our combined experience supports a shared focus on responsible catalyst processing and precious metals recovery.

Since 2010

Our roots began with the responsible and efficient processing of automotive catalysts. What started as focused operations developed through hard work, market knowledge, sound decisions, and consistent execution into the organization AG is today.
