Ormat Industries
Goes Private
Jerusalem (JPFS) — Ormat In-
dustries will become Israel's
fourth private electricity gener-
ator, the company announced.
The Yavne-based alternative
energy systems manufacturer
and exporter will produce 30
megawatts of electricity, follow-
ing an agreement with the board
of directors of the Israel Electric
Corporation.
Ormat will operate a new oil-
fired power station in the Negev
in a deal worth $50 million, ac-
cording to the IEC.
The station will be the first in
the private sector to be built us-
ing Israeli technology alone.
Egged, Dan
Get Competition
Jerusalem (JPFS) — The process
of ending the Egged and Dan
transportation companies' mo-
nopoly will begin before the
year's end, said Israel Transport
Ministry Director-General Na-
houm Langental.
Mr. Langental also said El Al's
privatization cannot begin while
the company is in "its current fi-
nancial situation."
The law governing the opera-
tion of Egged and Dan is likely
to be one of those targeted for
amendment as part of the gov-
ernment's structural reform pro-
gram.
Prime Minister Binyamin Ne-
tanyahu and Finance Minister
Dan Meridor have made no se-
cret of the fact they intend to re-
form the transportation sector.
They want to open the bus com-
panies to competition, probably
through privatization.
Semiconductor
Buys Two Firms
Jerusalem (JPFS) — Applied
Materials, the California-based
world leading producer of wafer
fabrication systems and semi-
conductor service provider, an-
nounced it is entering the
metrology and inspection equip-
ment market through the ac-
quisition of Ness Ziona-based
Opal Inc. and Yavne-based Or-
bot Instruments, for $285 mil-
lion in cash.
The transaction marks one of
the largest transactions ever
conducted in the Israeli high-
tech field. The three companies
commenced negotiations about
one year ago.
Applied Materials will pur-
chase the Opal, a Clal Elec-
tronics subsidiary which
operates its R&D operation in
Israel, for about $175 million,
and Orbot Instruments for ap-
proximately $110 million. The
company's move is part of a
long-standing global strategy
aimed at providing diverse en-
abling technology which can eco-
nomically manufacture new
generations of advanced semi-
conductor devices, explained
CEO and Chairman James
Morgan.
Opal, which is expected to end
this year with $60 million in
sales and $12 million in profits,
is engaged in the development,
manufacture, and supply of
high-speed automatic wafer
metrology systems used by
semiconductor makers to verify
critical dimensions during the
production of integrated circuits.
These measurements help
manufacturers maximize and
sustain the yields of integrat-
ed circuits at the highest per-
formance levels attainable by a
production line.
Orbot Instruments, which is
expected to end this year with
$43 million in sales and $10 mil-
lion in profits, develops, manu-
factures, and services automated
optical inspection systems for
use in the production of semi-
conductors, such as wafer and
reticle inspection systems with
leading-edge technologies.
