The story

Hom Tov was founded in 1994 by Shimon Kazansky and Yisrael Feldman. In 1996, Sonol, a wholly owned subsidiary of Granite Hacarmel, invested $1.5 million in the company.

In 2006, it was reported that 73% of the company shares would be acquired by a group of investors led by Israeli businessman Ofer Glazer. However, the transaction was not finalized, because understandably 73% is too much, and Hom Tov subsequently ceased to operate.
