- Jacobi was the first to introduce the “window cleaner” to the Israeli consumer. Until then, they used only newspaper and water to clean.

During the 1950s and 1960s severe regulation was applied on importing products into Israel and in order to obtain an import permit, the importer had to prove that the product fulfills a function that does not exist in the domestic market. As a result, the supply of products in the market was very limited. At the same time, Israeli women began to join the labor market and stopped being “housewives”, creating a market need for effective and cost-effective solutions in a timely manner.
In 1954, the first Jacobi store in southern Tel Aviv was opened by Jacob Jacobi. Paint shop, building materials and detergents.
In order to bring products and solutions to Israel that meet the new demands of consumers, Jacob Jacobi decided to look for unique products overseas. In his travels around the world, Jacob encountered a field that was previously unknown in Israel – the “do it yourself” field. Unlike the colors and finishing materials designed for professionals, the concept of “Do It Yourself” is quite different.
Jacob’s two sons joined the company and have since promoted and expanded the company’s layout and product range while maintaining the Israeli vision and service in a professional and reliable manner.
Jacobi opens its flagship store in Petah Tikva, close to the company’s warehouses and offices, to allow the consumer direct contact with the company and expose it to the rich variety and knowledge the company has to offer.
Jacobi is first crowned as a super brand in Israel by the “Superbrands”, thanks to you consumers, who have expressed confidence in the company and its products over the years.
Jacobi places itself as the supreme value of the health creditor and environmental protection. Ever since, Jacobi has led the industry, with a wide range of “green products” growing in the world of cleaning and dyeing. At Jacobi you will find the series of “Hydro Paints” for wood and metal, hypoallergenic and “Fragrance” non-odorous, with a very low VOC for painting walls and ceilings, the “non-lead” Hammerite metal paint, the Claro dishwashing detergent series with no phosphates and a series of “Astonish” products, all of which have not been tested on environmental products and Judaism.
The premise that sometimes the relationship with the consumer does not end as soon as the product is purchased but continues throughout the execution phase and until the result is obtained. The purpose of the site is to make the vast range of solutions that the company has to offer and tailor to each consumer the solution, providing detailed explanations, guides and close customer service in real time.
