CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject is a veteran business.

 

Subject is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

 

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. Sales for export reached US$ 10 billion in 2010.

 

Some 90,000 employees serve the said industries (26% of Israel's industrial workforce).

 

Despite the current general weakness in local markets (negatively affected by the global economy), 2011 ended with significantly improved economic indicators compared to 2010 in terms of gross domestic investment in machinery and other equipment for the manufacturing industry (excl. ships & aircrafts). Central Bureau of Statistics data reveals that investments -both from import and domestic production- of machinery & equipment rose by over 35% from 2010 (in 2010 it rose by some 10% from 2009, after it fell by 19% from 2008). Total gross domestic investment in machinery & equipment from import alone, rose in 2011 by 52% from 2010 (12% rise in 2010 after falling in 2009 by almost 23%).
