“I am honoured to receive this award, and grateful to Calcalist and the investment community for recognizing Delta Galil’s accomplishments,” commented Mr Dabah.

“Delta’s innovative team of associates has been the driving force in our company’s growth and success. Our employees share a spirit of integrity, creativity, curiosity and commitment – with their passion and exceptional performance leading us to 21 consecutive quarters of growth.”

Successful executives

Calcalist annually rates the CEOs of 50 leading companies traded in the Israeli Stock Exchange TA-100 Index. The rating, completed by 100 senior executives, analysts, underwriters and investment managers in the Israeli market, is based on four criteria – reliability, consideration of shareholders, performance and transparency.

“The winning companies are examined throughout the year based on their performance, salaries and the quality of their debt – and this is our opportunity to honour and thank them,” said Galit Chemi, Editor in Chief of Calcalist.

“We always find that the most successful executives are not necessarily those that appear in the headlines, but those who perform their jobs quietly and bring value to their shareholders. It is not surprising that we have found those companies that are characterized by steady management and a long term strategy at the top of our list year after year, among them Delta Galil.”

Leading position

Throughout Mr Dabah’s seven years as CEO, he has transformed Delta Galil into a leading producer of branded and private label intimate apparel, socks and activewear, increasing sales by 13% annually in the last five years and growing profits by 34% annually.

The company produces more than 1 million units per day for the top brands in the world, including Lacoste, Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, among others.

Under Mr Dabah’s leadership, Delta Galil acquired German intimates brand Schiesser. Today, the company is one of the most recognised men’s underwear brand in Germany, Switzerland, Holland and Austria, and the number one market share in men’s and ladies intimates in Israel with the Delta brand.
