Olamit Palestine Asbestos-Cement Works Limited / Olamit International plant at Petach Tikva, Israel

Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, wrote in March 1950 that Olamit Palestine Asbestos-Cement Works Limited was "the only manufacturer of Asbestos-Cement Products in Israel," with its main office in Tel-Aviv and its "factory at Petach-Tiqua."1 The same report said the factory produced "about 5000 tons of sheets, flat and corrugated, annually."1 In October 1963 the journal, now writing of Olamit International, said "the factory started production in 1948" and that "200 men" there turned out "a full line of asbestos building products."2
