Phoenicia America-Israel glass factory closes

Published 27th May, 2020 by Greg Morris

The Phoenicia America-Israel flat glass factory in the Zipporit Industrial Zone near Nazareth, Israel, has closed.

The coronavirus crisis was the final nail in the coffin of the struggling company and also meant that the factory's 300 employees lost their jobs.

The company was founded in 1934.
