Tnuva Snapshot
Tnuva Food Industries supplies the milk in the land of milk and honey, and, as one of Israel's largest food firms, it has no trouble keeping its dairy and meat divisions separate. Tnuva's dairy division supplies fluid and cultured milk items, butter, soy-based drinks, and cheeses throughout Israel. It markets the Yoplait brand in that country as well. Its other food divisions are major processors and suppliers of chicken, eggs, fish, meats, frozen pizza, and deli items. Tnuva's Sunfrost makes frozen vegetables. Founded in 1929, Tnuva is about 55%-owned by London-based investment firm Apax Partners. Mivtach Shamir owns 27% of the firm. In 2011 Bank Leumi dropped its bid to buy a stake in Tnuva.
