Meir and Rachel at Scientific Technology (1969)

Meir Levi sent us this picture that goes back to the very early days when Scitex was still called Scientific Technology Ltd. and was located in the research campus of Weitzman Institute in Rehovot, Israel.
As an electronic technician, Meir was one of the 25 employees “We were a small group, so we knew each other very well. Much like a small family headed by dady Efi Arazi” he says. In the picture (circa 1969) you see Meir smiling with Rachel, a lovely English lady. who was the secretary of the engineering staff.

Scitex welcome- on billboard at Ben Gurion airport

It was 1992 and love was in the air- that is –the courtship between the fast growing Scitex and the startup Nur Macroprint.
On a special request from Scitex, Nur has prepared this billboard poster on the yet-to-be-completed inkjet printer. The very large print was posted on a strategically positioned billboard, right on the exit road from the Tel Aviv Ben-Gurion airport.
It had been posted there to welcome a large group of European customers who came for a few days visit and (lots of) pleasure in the Holy Land.
