About PakTalc

PakTalc is a division of SKZ Mining Company Pvt. Ltd. SKZ works with several minerals; PakTalc handles only talc. It covers the path from the mine through sorting, grinding, testing and packing to export shipment.

SKZ operates two meshing plants and a processing and storage yard in Peshawar, and a sorting and packing warehouse in Karachi. Talc is sourced from deposits in Afghanistan and in Pakistan. Japanese technical partners take part in site visits and plant work.

Mission

Why we work the way we do

To supply talc that buyers can rely on lot after lot, by keeping control of every step from selection at the mine to the loaded container, and by developing Pakistan's talc sector responsibly.

Control of the chain
SKZ is involved from the mine to the final product. Sorting, grinding, testing and packing are done by SKZ teams, not bought in finished.
Evidence over adjectives
Talc is described by what the lab measures — particle size, whiteness, LOI, SiO₂ and MgO — and each order is agreed against a written specification.
Specification first
Mesh, colour grade and packing are set by the buyer's application, not by a fixed catalogue.
Responsible practice
Local employment, geology training with Japanese experts and tree-plantation work near mining areas are part of how SKZ operates.
