Arezzo, [15 January 2026] – IGE GOLD spa announces the strengthening of its corporate structure through the entry of 1AR S.p.A. and Banca Popolare di Cortona, two entities that authentically represent manufacturing excellence and banking values deeply rooted in the local territory.
An operation that brings together the great Italian goldsmithing tradition and the solidity of the local banking system, giving rise to an industrial and financial vision capable of looking to the future without losing the connection with its origins.
This important step takes place in a year of extraordinary symbolic value: the centenary of 1AR S.p.A., the first company of the Arezzo goldsmithing district and a brand recognized worldwide as a synonym for quality, innovation, and expertise in the gold sector. A century of history that represents a heritage of knowledge and values now placed at the service of a new phase of development.
IGE GOLD spa embraces this evolution with strength and awareness, bringing together consolidated industrial expertise, deep knowledge of goldsmithing processes, and the support of leading technological, industrial, and financial partners to guide gold toward new forms of value creation.
At the foundation of the project there is also a pool of entrepreneurs who over the years have demonstrated strong human and professional values: an essential prerequisite to responsibly and strategically face the challenges that lie ahead for the sector.
With the entry of 1AR S.p.A. and Banca Popolare di Cortona, IGE GOLD spa strengthens its identity and reaffirms its commitment to building a model that combines tradition, innovation, and the future, placing gold at the center of a modern and sustainable industrial and financial ecosystem.
