Malca-Amit

What Malca-Amit does

Malca-Amit is a privately held Hong Kong-domiciled logistics and security company that has been operating for over 50 years (founded 1963 per firmographics; 1973 per corporate filings), specializing in the secure storage, transportation, and customs handling of high-value physical and digital assets. Through owned offices and a partner network spanning 40+ countries, the company operates eight dedicated high-security vaulting facilities in Bangkok, Singapore, Zurich, Toronto, London, New York, and Hong Kong, plus the UltraVault premium safe-deposit brand. Its London vault holds the highest European classification (Level XII CD EX) and LBMA approval for precious-metals handling, while all stored assets are insured under Lloyd's of London.

The company's core services are organized into Diamonds & Jewellery, Precious Metals, Fine Art Global, Vaulting Facilities, Special Operations, Technology Services, and Digital Asset Services. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees (armored transport, white-glove handling, event guarding), managed-services storage fees (vault rentals, FTZ storage), and transaction fees for customs brokerage — pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The Digital Asset Services division, launched around 2021, extends the vaulting franchise into cryptocurrency and NFT cold storage, secure key generation/management, and inheritance planning via Ballet wallet integration, all backed by full Lloyd's liability coverage.

Malca-Amit sells primarily through enterprise field sales to three primary segments — the global luxury goods industry (diamond traders, jewellery manufacturers, retailers), international banks (bullion storage, clearing-house support), and high-net-worth individuals (personal valuables, art, crypto inheritance) — with a smaller fast-growing segment serving digital asset custodians via the my.malca-amit.com self-serve portal and mobile apps. Strategic partnerships include Citigroup (London precious-metals vault), Antalpha (Hong Kong tokenized gold exchange), and Ballet Crypto (crypto cold storage), positioning the firm as a physical-infrastructure anchor at the intersection of traditional commodities and tokenized assets.
