CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

This is a veteran family business.

 

According to data by of the Metal, Electrical and Infrastructure Industries Association, representing the local Metal and Electricity Industries, which includes large scale export-oriented industries on one hand and family-owned plants which sell to the local market: 2010 sales (local and export) by the said industries amounted to NIS 70 billion, comprising 25% of Israel's industrial output. Results are similar to 2008 scales, after some 20% drop in 2009 due to the significant slow-down in the local economy, affected by the global financial and economic crisis.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of metals raw materials to the local industries in 2010 and 2011 first 8 months showed an increasing trend, after a contraction in 2009 in view of the local and global slow-down in economy. Import of raw materials divided as follows: Iron and Steel - rise by 33.6% in 2010 (US$ 1,802.7 million, after 38% decrease in 2009 from 2008) and by 38% in 2011 first 8 months, reaching US$ 1,620 million; Precious Metals - up 22.5% (US$ 143.9 million, after 35.3% decrease in 2009) and by 13.5% in 2011 reaching US$ 106 million; Non-ferrous Metals - 40.7% rise (US$ 822.2 million, after 44.3% decrease in 2009 from 2008) and by 34% in 2011 first 8 months reaching US$ 693 million.
