Tosaf is a privately held Israel-headquartered manufacturer of color masterbatches, functional additives, and specialty compounds for the plastics industry, serving plastics converters and brand owners across packaging, automotive, agriculture, building and construction, electrical and electronics, home/sport/leisure, and textile/fiber end-markets. The company was founded in 1986 by Amos Megides, who remains CEO, and operates under Megides Holdings Ltd. with Ravago Group as a significant minority strategic investor. Its product portfolio is built around pigment and additive concentrates that are dosed into base polymers during extrusion or molding to deliver color, UV stabilization, flame retardancy, anti-fog, anti-static, slip, anti-block, antimicrobial, processing aid, and laser-marking functionality. Notable technical platforms include BOPE additive lines for mono-material recyclable films, halogen-free flame retardants for PE foams, patent-pending Non-TiO2 white masterbatches, PFAS-free processing aids for food-contact polyolefins, PPA-based PPAX high-temperature carriers rated to 340°C, and a UN-F universal food-contact carrier system compliant with BfR/FDA/China Food Safety Law. The business is organized around a global manufacturing and sales footprint of 22 plants and 53 sales offices across more than 50 countries, supported by 1,400+ employees including 60 dedicated R&D researchers under a Chief Innovation Scientist. Subsidiaries such as Colloids Limited (UK, IATF 16949), Adtec Colorant, Vision Color, Mastercol Peru, Gymap France, and Tosaf Benelux/Germany/Turkey provide regional production and color-matching services, with Tosaf Color Service matching approximately 150 colors per week on average and offering minimum order sizes down to 1kg for standard colors.

Tosaf competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Avient Corporation: Avient is the world's largest specialty color masterbatch and additive supplier (formed via PolyOne + Clariant Color acquisition). Direct head-to-head competitor to Tosaf in color masterbatches, white/black masterbatches, and functional additives serving packaging, automotive, and healthcare.
- Ampacet Corporation: Ampacet is a global leader in color and additive masterbatches for plastics, with a comparable product range covering white, black, color, and functional additives. Closely overlaps Tosaf's packaging, agriculture, and consumer-products end-markets.
- Cabot Corporation: Cabot is the dominant global supplier of carbon black masterbatches for plastics and a major plastics additive player. Competes with Tosaf particularly in black masterbatch, UV-stabilizer packages, and conductive/anti-static additive segments.
- Gabriel-Chemie GmbH: Gabriel-Chemie is a European-headquartered masterbatch specialist offering color, additive, white, black, and barrier masterbatches. Closely comparable to Tosaf on product breadth and customer verticals (packaging, fibers, automotive), though somewhat smaller scale.
- Sukano AG: Sukano is a Swiss-based masterbatch producer focused on PET, PLA, and bio-based masterbatches. Directly comparable to Tosaf in white masterbatches for food packaging and in biodegradable/composable additive systems.
- Plastika Kritis S.A. Plastika Kritis is a Greece-based producer of masterbatches, compounds, and agricultural films, with comparable color and additive masterbatch offerings serving Mediterranean and European plastics converters — overlapping with Tosaf's Europe-facing footprint.
Broad incumbents
- LyondellBasell (A. Schulman / Polybatch): LyondellBasell is a polyolefin giant that inherited masterbatch capability via A. Schulman / Polybatch and runs a global polymer/additives portfolio. Overlaps with Tosaf in polyolefin masterbatches and processing aids; recently deepened the relationship by tapping Tosaf's Polysaf as Israeli distributor.
- BASF Colors & Effects / Plastic Additives: BASF operates a broad plastics additives portfolio (light stabilizers, flame retardants, processing aids) and historically supplied colorants to masterbatchers. Overlaps with Tosaf on additive chemistry (UV stabilizers, FR) though BASF's masterbatch integration is narrower.
Others
- Ravago Group: Ravago is a global plastics compounder, recycler, and distributor and holds a strategic minority stake in Tosaf. Comparable as a plastics compounding/distribution peer and ecosystem partner; touches Tosaf's same end-customers via its distribution and compounding footprint.
Regional players
- Daito Kasei Kogyo: Daito Kasei is a Japanese specialty masterbatch and additive producer serving packaging and cosmetic/personal-care plastic applications. Comparable to Tosaf in color masterbatch expertise but focused primarily on Asia-Pacific rather than competing head-on in EMEA/Americas.
