Shintraco Ltd.
Shintraco Ltd. was founded in 1991 by
Shalom Hatuka and Proalim S.A. from
Geneva, Switzerland. The company im-
ports to Israel various grains and seeds includ-
ing wheat, beans, corn and animal feed as well
as sugar and pulses. Shintraco is owned by a
partnership of Shalom Hatuka and Proalim SA
from Geneva, Switzerland. The companies im-
port volume totals to hundreds of thousands
of tons annually. Revenue in 2015 was NIS 850
million, the company enjoys excellent bank
credit lines in Israel and abroad. Shintraco has
35 employees who are all professional, efficient
and experienced workers. The values guiding
Shintraco are integrity, trustworthiness, quality
and service awareness.
The Company’s Establishment
Shalom Hatuka began his carrier in the agricul-
ture field, and the connections he made then
with his customers in the Arab sector and his
fluency in Arabic helped him when he later
established his own company and became an
importer.
The cancellation of restrictions by the Israeli
government on milling flour that had required
them to buy only US wheat, brought about a
breakthrough in wheat import to Israel. Flour
mills who imported wheat from other countries
for the mixing of different types of wheat of flour,
allowed lower prices.
Shintraco, through its international connections
in the field, quickly became an importer with a
good reputation for edible wheat and fodder
grains.
Company Activities
The company purchased offices in the B.S.R. 4
project in Bnei Brak. In 2016, Shintraco estab-
lished “Katzir Birkat Haaretz” company, which
won the Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Devel-
opment’s tender, for 45 thousand tons of local
wheat for storage. In 2012, the company aquired
a wind mill in the north and set up “Isra-Bar Oils
and Grains Ltd.”, which imports oils for market-
ing to oil packaging factories in Israel. Shintraco
owns 50% of this company.
Subsidiaries
Shintraco has three subsidiaries: Isra-Bar, Ish-
bar and Shlomzion Initiative K.P. Isra-Bar was
established in 2012, and 50% is owned by
Shintraco. The company specializes in import-
ing and marketing edible oil. Shlomzion Initia-
tive K.P. specializes in the import and marketing
of engineering equipment, and machinery for
metal factories.
Products
Shintraco’s basket of diverse products includes
imported seeds, animal feed such as milling
wheat, animal feed wheat, beans, corn, fodder
and more. These products are imported from the
Far East, Western Europe and South America.
The company is also engaged in the import of
sugar, mainly from Europe. In addition, Shin-
traco imports millet (bird food) from China and
Europe, and small amounts from the US, and
imports raw and shelled sesame from Asian
countries such as India and China and various
African countries (Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya and
more). Following Shintraco’s partnership with
Proalim SA in Geneva, which is a subsidiary of
Cetaco, the company has been importing ses-
ame seeds in a large quantity from around the
world, and Shintraco enjoys attractive prices
for sesame.
Shintraco has close relations with Arab coun-
tries that conduct trade relations with Israel.
The field of sugar is a sector in which the com-
pany has been active since its establishment.
In the past few years, the company has signifi-
cantly expanded activities in the field of sugar.
