CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learnt.

 

Prior to establishing subject, the owner, Yossi Zimbris, used to be in a senior position in ALONY MARBLE Group, among the local leading companies in the fields of stone and marble, ceramics, sanitary ware and inputs to the building sector. He worked in ALONY for 26 years.

 

There are some 250 importers of ceramics and granite porcelain operating in Israel, and the branch is highly competitive.

In 2009 some 28% of imported ceramic and porcelain goods were from China (rate keeps growing in recent years), as well as relatively high portion from Turkey, on account of the traditional suppliers from Italy and Spain.

 

Despite the fears, in overall, the construction branch was hit less than other branches from the slow-down in local economy in late 2008 into the first half of 2009. Total number of transaction in the building sector in 2009 finished with 8% rise from 2008 and up 12% in new apartment deals (most deals are in 2nd-hand apartments).

 

In the last couple of years gross domestic investment in building and other construction works was stagnant, after in 2006 and 2007 it rose by 10.2% and 5.1% from the previous year, respectively. In 2009, investments indicators were mixed, reflecting the general slow-down in 2009 1st half, and showed a recovery later in the building and real estate market activity, continuing into 2010 1st half. Gross domestic investment in building and other construction works increased in 2009 by mere 0.5% from 2008. Total investment in fixed assets (excl. ships and airplanes) fell 6.1% in 2009 from 2008, and rose by 8.5% in 1stH-2010 in annual calculation. Investment in construction for dwelling rose by 4.1% in 2009 and by 10% in 1stH-2010.

 

Volume of building starts for dwelling during 2009 totaled 32,150 new apartments, 0.5% higher than 2008 and similar level to previous years. However, prices in recent years kept rising due to the shortage in supply of new apartments (rate of additional household in Israel stands on 39,000 per annum), while demand keep rising (this relates to a structural fault in the allocation of plots in State hands).
