Electra Consumer Products reported to the Stock Exchange (Tuesday, June 16, 2020) that it has signed an OEM contract with a strategic customer, one of the leading companies in Europe, for the development and production of heating systems. As part of the agreement, the customer has undertaken to purchase heating systems valued at approximately NIS 300 million over 5 years.

Further, in the framework of the agreement, the customer has undertaken to invest approximately NIS 7 million in product development in Israel and in the establishment of a dedicated production line in cooperation with Electra Consumer's development department. The development of the production line is expected to continue for about a year, and production operations from the company's plants in Israel are expected to begin in the course of 2021.
