Dagesh Group

What Dagesh Group does

Dagesh Group is a privately held Israeli contract engineering and hardware manufacturing company founded in 1994 by Kobi Franken. Headquartered in a 14,000 sqm automated facility in Yad Binyamin, the company employs approximately 340 people and operates as a turnkey development partner for major technology firms and startups. It runs three core product divisions — precision opto-mechanical systems for semiconductor inspection (serving Camtek and KLA), large-format digital printing systems (serving HP, Landa, Kornit Digital, and Twine), and medical and aesthetic laser systems (serving Candela, Nanox, Illumigyn, and Notal Vision) — and operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Etrog Engineering, which provides planning and NPI services, and CoreFlow, which sells contactless shipping and handling solutions to more than 800 FPD, photovoltaic, and semiconductor customers across Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, and Germany.

The company combines 3-axis Hass and 5-axis DMU CNC machining with ISO 5 and ISO 6 clean room assembly, Motoman MA2010 robotic welding, coordinate measuring machines up to 4 meters, and AI-assisted 3D imaging for quality control. Its opto-mechanical inspection systems achieve up to 6-nanometer accuracy when integrated with Defect Review platforms, and its 5-axis CNC platforms hold 0.003-micron tolerances. Dagesh holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100D, and ISO 27001 (2022 edition) certifications, qualifying it for medical device, aerospace, and information-security-sensitive engagements.

Dagesh generates revenue through project-based B2B contracts with enterprise clients under a Turnkey Project methodology, in which each customer is assigned a dedicated, permanent engineering team that carries the program from concept through NPI, production, and lifecycle support, including on-site work inside customer clean rooms. Pricing is quoted per project, sales are conducted exclusively through direct enterprise engagement with no resellers or distribution intermediaries, and the company is entirely founder/family-owned with no external equity capital.
