What Hamat does

Hamat (חמת) is Israel's largest and oldest sanitary ware manufacturer, founded in 1944 in Tel Aviv and headquartered at 233 HaHashmonaim Street, Tel Aviv. The company designs and manufactures bathroom and kitchen faucets across more than 40 product series (Ice, Wave, Rome, Masada, Clear, Everest, Rotem, HamaTech, Reef, among others), complemented by ceramic and granite kitchen sinks, stainless-steel sinks, wall-hung and monobloc toilets (including the proprietary Tornado Effect rimless flush), urinals, bathroom accessories, and a Hamat Care accessibility line. Core technology centers on PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating for durable finish options (chrome, brushed gold, rose gold, gun metal, nickel, matte black), water-saving metering and sensor-based faucet mechanisms, noise-isolated concealed cistern systems, and electronic proximity-sensor controls for touch-free operation. Hamat operates a manufacturing facility in the Ashdod Industrial Zone employing approximately 200 workers, supported by warehouse, distribution, and service operations in Ashdod, a service center in Haifa, and its Tel Aviv headquarters, with the broader Hamat Group comprising roughly 700 employees.

Hamat generates revenue primarily through unit-priced hardware sales of its manufactured sanitary ware, distributed via an authorized dealer and showroom network across Israel, direct B2B specification sales to architects, interior designers, and contractors, dedicated catalogs for medical institutions, and export channels to the United States and Europe (notably for ceramic sinks). Pricing is structured around individual SKU recommended retail prices in Israeli Shekels (ex-VAT), with a 2026 price list and ongoing catalog refreshes supporting the dealer channel. The company is publicly listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (ticker 384) since 1993 as part of Hamat Group Ltd., an international holding company. The customer base spans residential homeowners, professional installers (plumbers and contractors), design professionals (architects and interior designers), and institutional buyers (healthcare facilities), with the Monalis electronic urinal and TECE concealed-cistern distribution partnerships broadening institutional reach.

The company pursues a horizontal segmentation strategy across residential and commercial end-markets, with brand recognition, domestic manufacturing scale, and a deep installed base as primary competitive anchors. Strategic emphasis is on expanding the electronic/sensor and accessibility product lines, leveraging the TECE distribution partnership for full-system specification wins, and growing export presence outside Israel, while maintaining traditional strengths in PVD finish variety, water-saving technology, and dealer-network depth.
