A Picus Timeline History
Picus Inc. is a family business, owned by Galen and Patricia Horst. A timeline by Galen follows.
I began my own welding business, Whitewater Welding, at Foresters Falls, Ontario. My first major project was building a silage dump wagon. We were soon building all sizes of custom dump boxes and developed the Horstline lineup of dump trailers and more. In addition, we also did local welding and repair jobs.
Patricia and I were married, and we were in business together.
We built our first Picus bale choppers. The original Picus self propelled bedding chopper was designed and built in 2005 by Ludwig Bretzler from Bretzler Farms for use on their own dairy farm. They needed a large square bale chopper but because nothing similar was on the market, they built their own. Due to considerable interest in the bale shredder Ludwig worked with us to produce units for sale. Ludwig founded the company, Picus Inc. to market these machines.
We sold the DumpDek brand to my brother Duane Horst.
