Teva CFS Book English

Health Made in Kfar Saba ‘calibration’ of several systems. The Americans require a specific manner of reporting and in order to adapt to the standards, Teva had to implement organizational changes from the very bottom up. Chaim recounts: “This specific process lasted several years, but from the perspective of 30 years forward, it’s obvious that this is how we paved the way. Nowadays, many Israeli companies issue themselves on the Stock Market and thanks to Teva, they all know how to do it”. A plant with “palatial” standards When the plant in Kfar Saba was acquired, it already had FDA approval for American manufacturing. This approval was undoubtedly one of the plant’s most significant assets: “My father understood the power of this “American visa”, which was so difficult to obtain”, Chaim recounts, “so he handled the acquisition ever so gingerly. From the day the plant in Kfar Saba was acquired, it introduced Teva to a new league”. Thanks to the high standards according to which it was built, the plant provided Teva with a groundbreaking infrastructure. By the standards of Israeli industry of the early eighties, the building was no less than a “palace”. Kfar Saba - Teva’s showcase For Eli, the Kfar Saba site was Teva’s showcase. Every new minister, domestic or foreign Prime Minister, visited the plant. Chaim describes: “My father really loved the plant in Kfar Saba and tended to visit it at every opportunity. For him, it was a “must see” for every visitor that came to Teva, and he also tried to hold meetings with the guests in Kfar Saba”.
