Imco Industries (IMCO Group) provides build-to-spec and build-to-print services through its Defense Division and Industrial Division, with five subsidiaries in Israel and the US. The company specializes in electrical systems and subsystems for Israel Defense Forces armored vehicles.
In May 2024, the Israeli Ministry of Defense issued Imco a contract worth NIS 377 million for developing and providing electrical systems for the Merkava tank, Namer APC, and Eitan APC, doubling the company's order backlog to approximately NIS 730 million. This was reported by Calcalist, Army Recognition, and The Defense Post.
The surge in orders follows the post-October 7 acceleration in IDF armored vehicle production and modernization, as the Ministry of Defense allocated approximately NIS 40 billion in wartime procurement.
