Our History.

Picko was established in 2008 under the visionary leadership of Piet van Schalkwyk, who secured a contract to manage a pelletising plant located at BHP Billiton in Meyerton, South Africa. With a keen focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility, Piet successfully transformed waste streams at the smelter into reusable products, significantly reducing historical waste and eliminating current arisings. His exceptional efforts were recognised with a prestigious global environmental award in Melbourne, Australia, for this ground-breaking waste management initiative. 

Our Expertise.

At Picko, we recognised the necessity for specialised services to effectively operate such facilities. Our extensive experience, spanning nearly two decades, has highlighted that the continuous feasibility of these operations rely heavily on ongoing research and development. As a result, we are dedicated to continuously developing innovative binding technologies and state-of-the-art equipment that can adapt to changing raw feed materials and cost implications. 

    Our Commitment.

    Picko believes in providing customers with solutions with sustainable results underpinned by our quality products as a philosophy for success. To achieve quick turnaround, our approach is to first consider pre-configured Picko solutions, and if not achievable, to then proceed to a solution development process.
