History

Since 1938 PITCO has been a leader in the energy sector. We provide a range of products and services to our clients, which include Government Utilities, Independent Power Producers, Industrial Companies, Government and Semi-Government Organizations.

In 1947, after Pakistan won its independence, brothers Abdul Hamid Khan and Ghulam Mohammed immigrated to Pakistan. Both were already accomplished in commerce and industry. Abdul Hamid Khan had established a trading business in India in 1938, and Ghulam Muhammad was the founding partner of Mahindra & Mohammad, which later became Mahindra & Mahindra with his departure to Pakistan.

Abdul Hamid Khan established Pakistan Industrial Trading Corporation (PITCO) in 1947, to bring leading European industrial enterprises to Pakistan. PITCO was the first Pakistani business partner for many large names such as Siemens, KSB, Deutz, and Nobel. Ghulam Muhammad became Pakistan’s first Finance Minister and later Governor General in 1951.
