BANKERS

 

Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd., Kiryat Gat Branch (No. 433), Kiryat Gat, account  No. 575,800.

 

A check with the Central Banks' database did not reveal any negative information regarding subject's a/m account.

 

 

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject and is a veteran business, and Mr. Avner Fahima is veteran and known in its field.

 

According to surveys from 2009 in the branch, 6,000 new titles are printed in Israel each year, in over 10 million copies, of which two thirds are translated. This puts the Israeli reader at the top of the world ranking in purchasing books.

 

The local annual books market is valued at NIS 1.2 billion in 2011, some 30,000 titles (of which some half teaching and religious/ holy books). Most sales reach the books chains (such as subject). There are over 450 bookstores in Israel, over half of which belong to the large chains.

 

Sales in 2009 by the local printing and publishing industries summed up to around NIS 10 billion. The sector performance took a negative trend in 2008 as part of the general economic slow-down in local and global markets. In addition, the branch has been hurt by the significant rise of paper raw material in early 2010.

 

Investments in machinery and equipment from import for the printing and publishing industries in 2010 rose by 15%, summing up to NIS 248.6 million, after in 2009 it fell by 14% from 2008 (and after a rise by 5.5% in 2008 from 2007).

 

There are over 21,000 employees serving in the local printing industry, employed in some 1,050 printing houses, 960 of which considered small.
