Brief History, Mission & Vision
AU World Business International Inc. was established on a singular premise: that true financial peace comes not from speculation, but from owning tangible, enduring physical assets.
Built for Filipino Families & Global Entrepreneurs
Operating from its executive headquarters at Unit 2010 Tycoon Centre, Pearl Drive, Ortigas, Pasig City, AU World recognized that while everyday Filipinos work diligently abroad (OFWs) and locally, the majority keep all savings in paper currency vulnerable to inflation.
By partnering with world-renowned Swiss refiners like Argor-Heraeus and developing an accessible ecosystem of minted gold bars, wellness solutions, and franchise distribution channels, AU World transformed gold from an elite commodity into a generational family foundation.
