KPM Precious Metals (KPM) has set a new Guinness World Record for the world’s longest gold bar, measuring 2.12 metres, marking a milestone for Egypt’s precious metals industry.
The record was officially registered under the names of KPM and its brand BTC, which specialises in gold and silver bars, ingots and coins. The achievement makes KPM the first gold manufacturer to secure the global title.
According to the company, the record reflects its advanced manufacturing capabilities and decades of accumulated expertise, while highlighting the role of Egyptian talent and craftsmanship in developing the country’s precious metals industry.
KPM said the achievement forms part of its strategy to combine Egypt’s long-established goldmaking heritage with modern manufacturing technologies and international quality standards.

KPM said it has adopted advanced manufacturing technologies while building on the expertise of Egyptian specialists and manufacturers, with the aim of strengthening the global competitiveness of locally manufactured precious metals products.
The company has expanded its regional presence across several Gulf markets, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.
