"All gold produced and processed by SJC Company is guaranteed in quality"
Regarding the quality of 6,255 taels of illegally produced gold bars in the case that occurred at Saigon Jewelry Company (SJC), SJC Company affirmed that the information spread on the internet about the quality of SJC gold bars recently is false.
Speaking with Tuoi Tre , Mr. Dao Cong Thang, acting General Director of SJC, said that recently information has been circulating online about the quality of 6,255 taels of illegally produced SJC gold bars being gold-plated, gold-filled...
"This information is completely incorrect. All the gold that the company produces and processes is guaranteed in quality," said Mr. Dao Cong Thang.
SJC Company is currently the only unit in Vietnam assigned by the State to produce gold bars, with a strict and closed management process. According to Mr. Thang, the entire SJC gold bar production line complies with the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, ensuring the accuracy of content, weight and absolute safety in each production stage.
Accordingly, gold put into production is inspected from the input stage for purity. Each piece of gold is weighed to an exact weight of 37.5 grams before being stamped and shaped. After being stamped and shaped, the Quality Control Department will check the quality of each piece of gold.
Qualified gold bars will be stamped with a serial number and tested for gold content using highly accurate technology before being packaged and shipped.
There is no deviation in the golden age
Mr. Thang said that in fact, during more than 35 years of formation and development, SJC gold bars have affirmed their position as a national gold brand, trusted and chosen by many people.
Thanks to the strict supervision of the authorities and international ISO standards, SJC gold bar products on the market still ensure the declared quality, without any deviation in content (gold age) as recently caused confusion.
"Therefore, the company's multi-layered control mechanism is still strong enough to prevent substandard products from being released to the market. Therefore, the amount of 6,255 taels of gold circulating on the market still meets the normal circulation standards.
SJC Company is responsible for ensuring that SJC gold bars are processed and produced at the SJC gold factory in accordance with the law. At the same time, it ensures the legitimate rights of customers," Mr. Dao Cong Thang affirmed.
Previously, although the State Bank supervised the 12 steps of SJC gold bar processing, Ms. Le Thuy Hang still imported raw gold from outside to produce more than 6,200 taels of gold bars and 46,000 plain gold rings. This raw gold is 9999 gold of the right purity to buy on the market.
According to the indictment recently issued by the Supreme People's Procuracy, SJC Company is only allowed to produce and reprocess dented SJC gold bars when it has the approval of the State Bank regarding the volume and processing time of each batch. Every time SJC processes, the State Bank sets up a team to directly supervise and monitor all 12 steps through camera screens.
However, Ms. Le Thuy Hang, former General Director of SJC, discussed with Tran Tan Phat (Deputy Director of the gold workshop of Tan Thuan Jewelry Enterprise) to outline a plan to take advantage of the monitoring team's loopholes to smuggle raw gold that had been previously purchased from the market into the gold bar production workshop.
Before the monitoring team went down to the workshop, Mr. Phat smuggled the previously purchased raw gold to Mr. Doan Le Thanh (Head of the gold refining team) to melt, pour in bars, and then put them in a barrel of acid and hide it in the workshop.
When the supervisory team handed over the gold for batch melting by the State Bank, Mr. Thanh waited until the time to pour the bars, break them, and refine them, but reported that there was an error, it did not meet the standards, and the gold content had to be remelted. Taking advantage of the time when there was no supervisory team to directly check, Mr. Thanh put the previously melted raw gold bars into the break-making and refining machines and performed the same process as processing dented gold.
At the trimming stage, the staff checks the gold content, cuts, trims, dries, and wipes the gold pieces to meet the standards and quantity according to the daily processing order, then transfers them to the stamping team without keeping track of the number of stampings.
Next, Truong Cong Anh (Head of the packaging and serial numbering team) will take out the illegally produced gold bars that Mr. Phat had previously reported, use a spare stamping machine to stamp the serial numbers on the illegally produced gold bars and hide them at the factory.
At the end of the dented gold processing session, when the monitoring team left, Mr. Anh gave the illegally produced gold bars that he had hidden before to Mr. Phat. Mr. Phat gave the gold to the female General Director Le Thuy Hang to sell to gold shops in Ho Chi Minh City and sent a part to Nguyen Thi Hue, Director of SJC Hai Phong Branch.
