The company's roots date back to 1930 when it was established in Israel as Palimport Ltd. by Mr. Israel Luxembourg. Operating first as commission agents and brokers, the company later focused in the 1940s on the import and trade of chemicals and steel.
By 1950, Luxembourg had a firm foothold in the agricultural chemical market. During the next two decades, the 60s and 70s, the company concentrated and expanded its activities in crop protection chemicals by supplying Israeli agricultural enterprises with insecticides, miticides, fungicides and herbicides imported from Europe and the United States.
A manufacturing program was initiated in the beginning of the 1970s and a few years later Luxembourg began exporting its agricultural and industrial chemicals to overseas markets. In the 1980s and 90s, Luxembourg broadened its reach by establishing fully-equipped production facilities and by opening offices in the US and China. As the new millennium approaches, Luxembourg will continue to adapt to changing markets and business conditions.
