Expansion, Shows Israeli Progress in Paper Mills
Completion of a $12,000,000
expansion program at the Amer-
ican Israeli Paper Mills, Ltd.,
at Hadera, Israel, has given the
country a fully-integrated pulp
and paper industry, capable of
digesting a bale of straw and
turning out newsprint, fine
printing, wrapping paper and
table napkins.
The expansion, which has
alleviated a chronic paper short-
age that existed since 1953, was
accomplished through the assist-
ance of the Mazer family, prin-
cipal stockholders of the Hud-
son Pulp and Paper Co., in this
country, the Palestine Economic
Corp., individuals in South
America, Australia and Europe
and the Israel publishing co-
operative, Hamol.
The Israel pulp mill will util-
ize local agricultural residues,
mostly straw and cornstalk, as
basic raw materials. The method
will provide Israel farmers with
an additional 2,000,000 Israel
pounds in annual income.
The expansion was financed
through the sale of 6,500,000
shares of stock in the U.S.; 500,-
000 shares in Israel; a $3,000,-
000 direct loan from the Export-
Import Bank in Washington;
and the company's own re-
sources and re-investments.
The paper mills, which now
represent a $20,000,000 wholly
private investment, r ea c h e d
