Ohio Precious Metals was founded in 1974 and quickly established itself with a reputation for pursuing environmentally friendly precious metal refining techniques. The company was formed in the garage of some crafty precious metal enthusiasts. Originally, the company secured precious metals by simply reclaiming metals stripped for telephone equipment and melted it down for resale as bullion bars. The company has gone by many names over the years, ranging from Ohio Precious Metals LLC to OPM or OPM Metals.
 
Ownership over the company changed hands multiples times throughout its first three decades of existence, but one of its first significant moments came in 2003 when the company changed ownership and underwent an expansion that made it the largest good delivery refinery in the US that could also boast of being “All-American” in its production. OPM is one of the few private refineries to exist solely within the United States for the entirety of its operations.
 
The company produces gold and silver bullion products that are from recycled sources, such as photographic sources and the telephone industry. Additionally, recycled jewelry was a source of gold and silver for the company in its early days, and it won awards for its environmentally friendly approach to precious metals production.
 
In 2018, OPM's parent company, Elemetal, was involved in a major scandal involving three of the company's Miami-based gold dealers, who were convicted of a massive money-laundering racket. This resulted in the loss of many Ohio-based jobs and was a major blow to the company as a whole, who was ordered to pay the U.S. government $15 million as a criminal fine, while being under probation for five years as ruled by a federal judge.
