Know who is Beny Steinmetz?
Beny Steinmetz was born in 1956, the fourth child to Rubin
and Esther Steinmetz. By 1977 the family business had been long established
upon the completion of his 3 years of compulsory military service in Israel, Beny Steinmetz left Israel to find his
independent way for build his future there. In giving Beny Steinmetz a start in business, Mr Laub was elemental in
helping him learn about the industry and lay the groundwork for his success.
Beny Steinmetz once stated “the phrase ‘the sky is the
limit’ is not applicable to Beny. To him, the sky is merely the beginning”. Beny
took the business to new heights, gradually expanding its operations and
successfully developing a network of contacts on the African continent. During
the 90’s the business joined forces with Beny
Steinmetz’s brother Daniel creating what is now known as SDG, Steinmetz Diamonds
Group.
Over the years,
this hard working visionary turned the contacts he had developed early in his
career into long lasting relationships and business opportunities in countries
such as South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and India, to name but a few. These
connections continue to grow and expand, beyond the business’ foundation. What
began as a young local business has today become a multi-faceted empire. The Beny Steinmetz brand today occupies the
top tiers of a number of industries including real estate, mining, minerals,
financing, oil & gas and several others, and continues to grow.
About Beny Steinmetz & His Family
Beny married his
sweetheart Agnes, in 198O. They had met when Beny Steinmetz was 17, and she 15.
When virtually all Israeli men were mobilized, many students, peoples
volunteered to fill the vacuum created in the civilian labour force. It was
while they worked in an agricultural settlement for this cause that they met
and fell in love.
Sharing her
husband’s ambition and dedication to hard work, and so she could stay close to
him, Agnes joined the staff at the Beny Steinmetz
offices. She effectively combined work with family and remained involved in the
business until the birth of his third child, Michal, in 1986. Nadav, their
fourth and youngest, was born in 1993.
The Agnes & Beny Steinmetz Foundation
By 1996, after
having lived in Belgium for some 18 years, Beny Steinmetz and his wife decided it was time to leave. Home and family are
very close to their hearts and the time was right to return to Israel and
continue to raise their family there. They also shared a vision to create a
better future for the children and youth of Israel; this led them to set up, in
2007, the Agnes & Beny Steinmetz
Foundation. In 2010, Beny Steinmetz family decided it was time to move again
and today they reside in Geneva, Switzerland.
