The largest Russian platinum and palladium manufacturer "Norilsk Nickel" has got the opportunity to sell its metals without intermediaries. Last week the decision to create a company responsible for platinum group metals export was taken. "Norilsk Nickel" Company possesses 51% of the new company shares. "Almazyuvelirexport" Company will represent the State in the new organization.

The Ministry of finance suggests that new scheme will allow Russian platinoids market participants to follow more effective sales and marketing policy.
