Israel Polack

Israel Pollak (Hebrew: ישראל פולק; 1909–1993) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian, Chilean and Israeli textile industrialist.

[1] Israel Pollak was born to a Jewish Orthodox family in Borșa, east Maramureș.

In 1960, Pinhas Sapir, then Israel's Minister of Industry, invited Pollak to make aliyah and to establish a textile plant in Kiryat Gat.

It eventually became a public corporation whose shares were traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

In 1970, the Pollaks founded Bagir, a men's division for suits and jackets.
