Tnuva paid NIS50m (US$10.63m) for gaining full ownership of Magic-Soy, a local manufacturer of soy-based milk drinks and tofu products. According to a report in Yediot Aharanot, the newly purchased soy and tofu plant will be merged into Tnuva milk division and will be re-named “Tnuva-Soy”.
The report notes that Osem-Nestlé and Strauss Dairies jointly competed to gain control of Magic-Soy, “but Tnuva’s offer was higher”.
Tivall, a subsidiary of Osem-Nestle, which manufactures soy-based meat analogues, also plans to produce soy-based drinks and expand its line of tofu products.
