Orit Pollak struggled to convince her father to hire her. When he finally did, she was able to grow Reyemsa, the family’s cold-rolled steel manufacturing business, in ways that he never imagined. Later, when she contemplated leaving the business to pursue an MBA, it was her father that persuaded her to stay – her contributions to Reyemsa were indispensable – and when he passed away two years later, he left the business in her capable hands.

Orit is now the President of her family board, which oversees three companies. Reyemsa is a leader in the manufacturing industry of steel drums and containers. Orginor Natural specialises in the development and manufacture of dyes, extracts and natural ingredients for a wide range of commercial and consumer applications. Her first addition to the family group, Magico, is a new Reyemsa line that leverages the family’s manufacturing experience with her late father’s passion for food to deliver cooking products and accessories.
