From Kfar Aza to the Global Market: Kafrit Group Reaches 1.3 Billion Shekels in Turnover
From a factory in the Negev to ten production sites worldwide: Kafrit Group reports impressive figures, including approximately 800 employees and a production capacity of 167,000 tons. Details on the Israeli industrial powerhouse that continues to expand.
What began about 50 years ago in Kibbutz Kfar Aza has evolved into one of Israel's most impressive industrial companies. Kafrit Group is a leading global manufacturer of masterbatches and compounds for the plastics industry—materials that provide plastic products with their color, strength, and unique properties.
Despite the severe challenges following the events of October 2023, the factory in Kfar Aza demonstrated exceptional resilience, returning to full operation by December of that year. Today, the group operates as a global powerhouse comprising 9 companies and ten production, development, and marketing facilities worldwide, including in the USA, Germany, Canada, Sweden, and China. The group employs approximately 800 workers, maintains a production capacity of 167,000 tons, and in 2024 recorded a massive sales turnover exceeding 1.3 billion shekels.
The company's shares have been traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 1993. Recently, a significant development occurred: during the month of July, the company's controlling shareholder—Kibbutz Kfar Aza—increased its holdings. The kibbutz purchased shares worth over 2 million shekels, raising its stake to 57.37%. This move reflects a strong expression of confidence by the controlling shareholders in the company's operations, performance, and the future growth potential of this industrial empire from the Negev.
