About
Nehser. Israeli Cement.
The Nesher plant is the only cement-manufacturing plant in Israel. The concentration of the company's production system in Israel and its purpose for local consumption make Nesher a substantial influence on the production and consumption of locally manufactured products, and we see great importance in the presence of high quality Israeli cement production, which guarantees the independence, availability and continuity of this essential resource for the State of Israel.
The Nesher plant is one of the most advanced cement plants in the world in terms of utilizing advanced production technologies and contributing to local circular economy.
The cornerstone of the Israeli industry
We, at Nesher, have made it our mission to promote the Israeli industry since the day the first cement plant was established near the city of Haifa.
The production setup in Israel makes us a significant influence on the preservation, production and consumption of locally produced products.
In fact, our factory serves as a cornerstone in the development of the construction and infrastructure industry in Israel, a story intertwined in the history of the State of Israel and its establishment.
Our plant is among the most advanced cement plants in the world, both in terms of production volumes and in terms of utilizing advanced production technologies.

What is the connection between the industry and the environment?
About 40% of the fuels used in the production process are alternative fuels
Nesher utilizes hundreds of thousands of tons of household and industrial wastes as alternative raw materials and energy.
Our goal: increasing the use of alternative fuels to 90% of the fuels used by 2030
Nesher is a member of the Global Cement and Concrete Association, which has committed to the goal of Net Zero by 2050
For many years, heavy industry was seen as a major source of pollution - a kind of necessary evil that accompanies development and progress. In recent years, along with huge investments in advanced technologies to reduce industrial pollution in the production process itself, there is a growing understanding that the industry has transitioned from a linear production model - mining of raw materials, production and disposal to the trash at the end of use, to a circular model - in which both alternative raw materials and alternative energy sources replace the use of limited natural resources.
In the transition from a linear to a circular production model, beyond their classic role as cement producers, cement plants around the world become plants for the treatment of industrial and domestic waste.
What about Israel?
Israeli citizens produce much more waste per capita than most citizens of developed countries, and most of this waste is sent to landfills. Waste management is the most significant environmental challenge the State of Israel is facing today.
Due to the unique production characteristics of the cement industry and as is customary in the world, the Nesher plant uses alternative fuels - such as RDF (fuel derived from waste), and alternative raw materials from various industries. This means using waste and turning it from an environmental nuisance into a resource. Thus, the plant facilitates a reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfills, a reduction in the use of fossil fuels (petroleum-based) and perishable natural resources, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The cement production process is, in fact, a necessary tool for promoting waste treatment in Israel.
Ownership Structure
Nesher operates under the parent company Mashav, which is owned by Clal Industries of the Access Industries group. Access is a global investment company based in New York, operating in the fields of industry, real estate, high-tech, entertainment, and communications.
Corporate Responsibility
The company and its people undertake the commitment to act transparently, lawfully and fairly, constantly conversing and communicating with our employees, business partners, customers and neighboring communities.
At the core of Nesher's activity is our duty to maintain the availability of resources for future generations. This approach is also reflected in the way we perceive sustainability, as well as in the social and environmental measures we take in our activities.
From Vision to Reality
Nesher’s journey begins
On August 31, 1922, a company named Portland Nesher Cement Ltd. was registered in London. The founders were headed by Michael Pollak who joined the founding team with the encouragement of Baron Rothschild and Dr. Chaim Weizman. The Nesher plant was founded near Haifa in 1922, in a location that would later develop into the city of Nesher.
The first bag of cement
In October 1925, the first kiln was put into operation, and in December of that year, the first bag of cement was produced at the Nesher plant near Haifa. 11 years later, the plant will celebrate the production of the first million tons of cement.
Establishment of the Ramla plant
With the huge waves of immigration arriving at Israel in the early 1950s, the Jewish population in the State of Israel doubled within three years resulting in a huge construction boom. It began to become increasingly clearer to Nesher's management that a second cement-producing plant should be established without delay. The chosen city was Ramla, a developing city in the center of the country.
