About

Who We Are

In 1973, the Zeltzer family purchased the Anvey Zion factory, which was then located in Bat Yam and specialized in the production of grape juice. The family patriarch, Shimon Zeltzer, promptly decided to take the factory in a new direction. His idea was to specialize in production and marketing of fruit processing for the food industry. The innovative plan, combined with strict adherence to uncompromising quality, through the use of advanced technologies, soon proved his expertise and led to triumph. With the success came the need to move to a new, bigger, and more modern building equipped with cutting-edge technology. After careful planning, it was decided to move the factory to Ashkelon, where it is still located today. Over the years, Anvey Zion continued to grow and develop new and innovative products and became the leading company in Israel in the field of fruit products and raw materials for baking. Even on a global scale, Anvey Zion ranks among the leading companies in the field of processed fruits. Our values have always been striving for innovation and excellence. It is our intent to provide the food industry, professional bakeries, pastry chefs and wholesalers with jams, preserves, fillings, cake creams, glazes and all raw materials for baking, in a wide variety of flavors and of the highest quality.




Our products include: processed fruits, jams for baking, jams for injection, fruit fillings, candied fruits, processed fruits for yogurt and ice cream, cake creams, toppings and fillings (that are not fruit-based) and a variety of products, which turn any pastry, ice cream or dairy product into a supreme delicacy.

The careful selection of the fruits and raw materials and the use of the state-of-the-art machine and work technologies available, guarantee the maintenance of a high and uniform standard of all products. We pride ourselves on the ability to provide a customized solution to our customer’s requirements. All in a very wide variety of flavors and textures.

Business partners: In 2003, Tnuva acquired 50% of the company’s shares. With the purchase, Tnuva became a strategic partner in Anvey Zion. Tnuva’s trust in us has proven itself over the years, allowing the continued self-management of Anvey Zion as well as remaining an important client.
