Proven leadership. Group-scale execution.
Hi-Tech Gold Refinery is led by Tariq Gul, a Karachi-based entrepreneur whose group of companies spans logistics, energy, and construction. As Managing Director of 24/7 Logistics (Pvt.) Ltd., he has spent more than two decades building a freight and logistics network that today serves trade lanes across more than eighty countries.
His portfolio extends into the energy sector through Virtual Gas (Pvt.) Ltd. and into sustainable development through New Downtown Builders & Developers — the sister-company backbone of energy and logistics expertise on which HTGR's integrated ore-to-market value chain is built.
With Hi-Tech Gold Refinery, that operational depth is directed at a single national ambition: refining Pakistan's mineral wealth inside Pakistan — to global standards of purity, traceability, and governance.
“Pakistan's mineral wealth deserves more than extraction — it deserves transformation. From mine to market — responsibly, intelligently, and sustainably.”
