In Constant Growth, Returning to Jerusalem

The company has expanded its production and processing capacity in the region through the innovative factory it established in Mishor Adumim, about 15 km from Jerusalem which is an influencing factor of the area’s competition. This factory provides a comprehensive solution for all skeleton products for the building and infrastructures being built in Jerusalem and its surroundings, and a great deal of thought was placed on environmental safety and conservation. solar panels were installed on its roof to provide some of its electricity requirements, and top-of-the-line machinery was purchased, equipped with advanced computer systems and minimal power consumption. This factory, like the factory in Reem Park, will recycle all its leftover metal for reuse. The new factory will focus on streamlining and continuous improvement in the production process and providing added value to the customer, through professional excellence, innovation and technological improvement that will be reflected in the improvement of quality and compliance with the standard and the market.

The Elements Production Department

S. Cohen has an elements production department that specializes in supplying products for complex infrastructures such as railways and bridges. The company produces elements of all types, including slurry walls, Element mesh, pillars, x-shaped elements, etc. This department enables the company to provide customized products according to the plans of the customer’s engineers, for urban industries, and for reinforcing transport infrastructure, bridges and commercial and residential buildings. Constructing with ready-made elements from the company’s factory improves and shortens the construction site schedules in transitions from one stage to another and solves the on-site storage and congestion problems. The factories supply the elements according to the site’s requirements and in accordance with the site’s coordination with other factors such as concrete castings, etc. This holistic process saves costs for the construction companies, since they pay only for the element’s net weight - thus not paying for the depreciation that occurs when the elements are assembled on construction sites.
