CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

In our previous subject’s Co-General Manager, Haim Hamama, cooperated with us, although refused to disclose financial details.

When we spoke with Mr. Hamama this time he was reluctant to share any information with us.

However, he commented that they are working on a lower volume than before and activity has been contracted in money terms, mentioning it is concerning the high prices of commodities. He told us they are buying less than before, and after that refused to elaborate any further.

Subject has been considered as large suppliers in their field of raw materials to the local food industry.
