Israeli-made computers are being marketed in France and have already been bought by several large public and private corporations including France’s national security ministry and Air France. The Israeli “Elbit” factory last year sold $2 million worth of sophisticated computers and electronic devices on the French market, according to the head of the French company dealing with the sales, Jacques Benillouche. Elbit now plans to start building the computers in France itself in order to be able to compete on better terms with various West European manufacturers of similar products, Benillouche said.
