Rushdi Food Industries was established in 1984 as a joint venture when a group of Arab entrepreneurs enlisted the know-how of Telma, a subsidiary of Koor Industries and one of the leading food brands in Israel.
This venture resulted in a success story that lasted for over 28 years, becoming the primary producer of tahini and halva in the Israeli market.
Today, the company is privately owned by the Bashir family. The Bashir family has preserved ethnic Arab cuisine traditions for generations, and has embraced the goal of bringing Israelis closer to the culture of Arab food and hospitality.
Today, Rushdi Food Industries is one of  the largest manufacturer of tahini worldwide
