What Tzidon Polymers does

Tzidon Polymers is an Israeli private, family-owned sales agency and distribution representative founded in 1982 by Beni Tzidon, who prior to founding the firm had spent roughly 20 years with ExxonMobil. Headquartered in the Caesarea Industrial Park with 7 employees, the company functions as the local channel partner for world-leading international manufacturers of polymer raw materials, additives, and colorants serving Israel's plastics and rubber processing industry. Its role is neither manufacturing nor retail; it is the exclusive or primary Israeli representative for its principals, a position it has held for over four decades.

The company's technical product offering spans the full range of polymer inputs used by Israeli plastics converters: LDPE and metallocene polyethylene resins from ExxonMobil; polyamide engineering plastics (PA6, PA66, PA46) from DSM Engineering Plastics; color concentrates and engineering compounds from A. Schulman; black pigment masterbatches from Cabot; and a specialty compounds portfolio (carbon-fibre-reinforced, thermally/electrically conductive, lubricant-modified, and metal-detectable grades) from Lehmann & Voss. Accessory product lines handled under secondary partnerships include industrial blades from Lutz Blades, rotary couplings and air filters from Filton, cable compounds from Melos GmbH, and steel wire products from Bekaert. Customer-facing technical services include application support, training, and lab analysis supplied under the firm's agreements with its principals.

Tzidon Polymers' business model is a classic manufacturer-rep agency: revenue is generated through sales commissions and distribution margins on polymer resin and additive volumes sold into Israeli plastics manufacturers producing films, bags, food packaging, pipes, and technical plastic products. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales with no public pricing, no online ordering, and no disclosed financial figures. The firm has no parent company, no institutional investors, no public funding history, and concentrates exclusively on the Israeli market.
