As Israel gears up for the upcoming Knesset elections, the Ord Press printing plant in Kiryat Gat is working non-stop to produce over 450 million ballot papers. The facility, described as one of the largest and most advanced globally, employs approximately 400 workers for this massive logistical undertaking. Each of the 120 parties expected to run will receive around 11.5 million ballots.
Ord Press, which is publicly traded, specializes in content and print product production, data processing, and customer communication management. Its Kiryat Gat facility spans 50 dunams, with 30,000 square meters of built space. The company offers solutions for both digital and printed content, personal documents, and payment forms.
The printing process involves receiving and processing data files from clients, editing them, and preparing them for distribution. This requires sophisticated equipment, expertise, and adherence to high standards of accuracy, confidentiality, privacy, and cybersecurity. The company emphasized the growing need for efficient and reliable services to support clients transitioning to these advanced operational methods.
"We need to pack the ballots in bundles of 50," explained Haliva, adding that the plant must print significantly more than the required number. "It's definitely a serious logistical project."
