Subject enjoys good reputation in its field.

 

The local building, construction and metal sectors has been slowly recuperating from the recession during recent years (2001-2003) in the local market in general and in those sectors in particular, from which many companies have been adversely affected by.

Sales to the local market increased by 6.5% form 2005, summing up to NIS 44.8 billion, after a 16% in 2005. In 2005, the metal products branch noted an impressive 21.8% rise up to NIS 21.5 billion, comparing to NIS 17.6 billion in 2004. Basic metal sales amounted to NIS 4.2 billion, a 17.8% increase.

 

Sales  for export grew by 5% in 2006, reaching US$ 5.81 billion (metal sector accounted for US$ 1.75 billion).

 

Investment in machinery and equipment rose by 15% comparing to 2005, summing up at NIS 3.3 billion.
