Prigat

[2][3] Prigat was founded in 1940 when the leaders of the Givat Chaim kibbutz decided to build a factory for canned fruit and vegetable products.

In 1941, the factory was named "Gat" and quickly began the marketing of the company's first products, which were jams, tomato puree and applesauce.

In 1958, Golda Meir, who was a foreign minister at the time, approved the "Jaffa Champion" company trademark for marketing outside of Israel.

Prigat primarily markets in Israel; however, it contains products and/or exports to 15 other countries as well: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Hungary, Kenya, North Macedonia, Romania, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom and the US.

[8] Following the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, Prigat sent the company's employees to restore the Birya forest after numerous Katyushas fell in the area.
