Serafon was established in 1949 and since 2000 has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tambour, the biggest paint manufacturer in Israel. Based in Ashkelon, Serafon develops, produces and markets adhesives and sealants for the consumer market as well as emulsions for the paint and textile industry. It sells its product range for the building sector both in DIY stores and to wholesalers and the construction industry.
Serafon’s product range includes acrylic and tile adhesives.
The company is one of the leading suppliers in this segment in the Israeli market. Its technical know-how and experience have been decisive factors in achieving this position, along with a newly-built, computer-controlled production plant, according to marketing manager Ronen Ben Meir. In Israel Serafon claims to be the biggest and best-established company in the DIY sector, selling 100 products here. One element of the company’s strategy in the DIY segment is the production of private label products for various DIY stores.
According to the company, Polygag is one of the leading sealants in the Israeli market.
In the construction sector, Serafon offers a complete product spectrum, including adhesive additives, special sealants for roof, floor and walls, acrylic adhesives and polymer-based tile adhesives. According to the company, Polygag is one of the leading sealant products on the Israeli market. It is white, elastic and watertight.
The large range of adhesives available, including PVA and contact adhesives, are for use not only in the home and the office but also in industry.
Great importance is attached to quality control, and the company was audited for ISO 9001 certification in 2000. Ecological aspects play a significant part, says Ronen Ben Meir, and a high priority is accorded to research and development too. In the company’s laboratory, chemists and engineers seek new methods and products that comply with international standards. Serafon can also coordinate its products to the specific requirements and requests of customers.
