Ampal-American Israel ^{For Profit}

Ampal is to make investments in companies that grow in Israel initially and then expanded abroad. As a general guideline, Ampal seeks to acquire and maintain a sufficient interest in a company to permit it, on its own or with investment partners, to have a significant influence in the management and operation of that company. In determining whether to acquire an interest in a specific company, Ampal considers quality of management, return on investment, growth potential, projected cash flow, investment size and financing and reputable investment partners.
