The Elco Group, which is owned by the brothers Danny (Daniel) and Mickey (Michael) Salkind, has expanded into an abundance of fields this year – and its revenues have increased by 31% to approximately 10 billion shekels in the first nine months of 2021 according to the reports, which were published today (Thursday). Elco controls Electra (211850 +1.52%), Electra Consumer Products (16450 +0.55%), Electra Real Estate (6326 +0.41%), The Theater of Dreams (which operates cinemas) and it also has a holding of approximately 30% in Discount Investments (1084 +0%), which controls, inter alia, Cellcom (1418 -1.18%) and Property & Building.

Since the beginning of the year, the companies in the Elco Group have expanded into various fields: Electra Consumer Products has acquired control in Yeinot Bitan; Electra has entered the transportation field through the acquisition of Afikim and Egged Ta'avura; Electra Real Estate has entered the hostelry field in the United States; and Supergas (6500 -1.78%) has entered the renewable energy field.

These acquisitions have increased Elco's revenues significantly, however the biggest profit in the last quarter was generated specifically by Electra Real Estate, which is engaged in the real estate field in the United States, deriving primarily from success (promote) fees and from an increase in the value of the assets in the United States.
