Israel’s Unique Industrial Sector

Tene Capital is uniquely structured and positioned to capture the investment opportunities in one of Israel’s most attractive sectors, namely the Israeli export oriented industrial sector. Since 2005, the CAGR for this sector has been over 6%, with annual export growth of over 10%.

Many companies in this sector succeed by identifying a well-defined global niche and exceling with-in that niche. Such companies combine sophisticated technologies, state of the art manufacturing capabilities and distinctive global market positions.

The Israeli export oriented industrial sector represents leading companies in key growth segments, including agriculture technologies, resource management, water treatment, clean technologies, metal and plastic products and components, consumer products, construction and homeland security.
