Unknown to many retailers, and instrumental for sales associates “telling the story of Platinum”, the metal has applications across many business sectors aside from jewelry, including automotive and medical uses. In this valuable webinar attending retailers will learn about the many uses of Platinum, its benefits, and some of the newest innovations of the metal. According to a PGI write-up, attending retailers will be treated to the following program:
Join Benny Oeyen from Anglo American for a journey of discovery that will explore some of the applications of the world’s most precious metal, including platinum’s role in the green economy and its impact on people and the environment. He’ll also discuss responsibly mined platinum and introduce you to Inoveo Platinum – a new platinum alloy that may change the way we make platinum jewelry – for the better.
