The Company provides most of the cement consumed by the Israeli market, as well as the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria.

Nesher was founded in 1925 and thus realized the vision espoused by Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl in his book “Alteneuland”: ” The plan for building a homeland for the Jewish people must take into consideration the founding of a Hebrew cement factory as well “. The company today constitutes a prominent force in Israeli industry with a history that is interwoven with that of the State of Israel.

Nesher’s main plant is the Ramla plant – one of the largest cement plants in the world both in terms of production volumes and in terms of the use of advanced, environmentally friendly manufacturing technologies. The Company also has a plant in the town of Nesher, named after the Company’s first plant.
