Patent for "elaboration in valves

"The need for bronze valves arose. After designing and manufacturing of the valve we got a patent for it. It was the beginning of the Independence war, which paralyzed the plant completely. After the war, we began re-manufacturing valves; we bought a lathe and other equipment which allowed us to manufacture more sophisticated valves."

Establishing the first foundry

"In 1950, the foundry was established and we started to pour in house in a very primitive way and hard work.

This allowed us to produce more. Also cultivated the parts in the plant thanks to the purchase of additional machinery and improvements in work process" (taken from a restoration of establishment the factory)

Initially in “homemade” pavilions and later in designed and innovative pavilions, showing the range of solutions offered by Dorot in agriculture, water works technologies and fire protection.

1980-1990 From mechanical to hydraulic valves

"At the beginning of the 1980’s development of hydraulic valves began. Not another mechanism for opening and closing manually, but a system that exploits the energy of water to operate the valves for water irrigation and for connecting to serial computerized control systems"(taken from a restoration of establishment the factory (

Establishment of new Foundry

"In 1980 a new foundry was built, using a unique technology, and it served the factory faithfully for 20 years.

It was closed because of the economic reality that has been created, in which competitors produce around much lower costs” (taken from a restoration of establishment the factory)
