Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is a state-owned company that manufactures products in the aerospace and aviation sectors.
The company is most well-known for their wide range of military equipment, producing and servicing a variety of drones, missiles, aircraft, and more. IAI also boasts a range of space hardware, including the EROS and Ofek satellites.
Despite the numerous military-centric products, which are made for the IDF and sometimes sold to foreign nations, IAI also has a number of products made for civilians, most famously the Gulfstream business jets.
The company is based in Lod and its current CEO is Boaz Levy.
IAI, a leader in defense and commercial markets that delivers state-of-the-art technologies saw sales increase to about $5.3 million in 2023, compared with about $4.9 million in 2022.
