A message from the Chairman


“Globalization is the name of the game, and SBI AG actively playes its role” -
Uzi Vardy-Zer, Chairman of the Board.


For SBI International Holdings A.G., the term global village has particular significance. From our earliest years we have always defined ourselves as an outward-looking organization focusing solely on the international area; the new information society has opened promising new windows of opportunity for us by lowering geographic barriers and transforming the way cross-border business is conducted.

In this present international business climate, the markets we address are increasingly challenging and demanding. But they are also larger and more dynamic, offering substantial potential to a group with our strengths. We are therefore taking steps to widen our areas of activity and be even more responsive to the changing needs of the global marketplace with the objective of penetrating into further growth areas.

By maintaining our frontline position in all areas of construction technology and retaining a competitive posture, we expect to continue increasing our effectiveness in securing new business, an important part of SBI AG growth strategy.

Solidly entrenched in three continents and with an impressive track record in developing countries, we face the future with high expectations. And as a globally active company where trust and independence are the cornerstones for progress, we are confident that our management and employees are well prepared to meet the needs of an increasingly complex world, a fast-expanding population and a shrinking planet.
