The opening as it read in 2010
Iscar Metalworking is the largest company of the IMC Group and one of the largest toolmaking companies in the world. The company was founded in 1952 in a wooden garage behind the home of Stef Wertheimer , the wealthiest Israeli living in Israel. After several years of steady expansion, the company headquarters moved to its current site in the Tefen Industrial Zone , situated in Israel's Western Galilee . Iscar has expanded from a single marketing and manufacturing facility in Israel to a multinational company with representation in over 50 countries. Its production facilities are highly automated; at night, a single employee runs the plants on a computer, from home. In May 2006, Berkshire Hathaway , chaired by Warren Buffett , purchased an 80% stake in Iscar for US$ 4 billion. It was the first time in Berkshire's long history that it acquired a company based outside of the United States. Buffett called the acquisition of Iscar a "dream deal" that surpassed all his expectations. He personally attended the inauguration of a new production plant in Dalian , China . The company has 140 subsidiaries in 65 countries. Buffett personally cuts ribbon at Iscar China - Haaretz - Israel News Who on earth is Jacob Harpaz, Haaretz, July 15, 20091
