Bolton Group

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Bolton Group

Bolton Group is an Italian multinational corporation founded in 1949 in Milan by Joseph Nissim, operating in food, personal and home care, adhesives, and cosmetics sectors. The group owns around 60 brands, including UHU and Bison in its adhesives division, as well as Rio Mare, Neutro Roberts, WC Net, and Omino Bianco. While the company does not sell weapons directly, it is deeply embedded in the israeli economy by selling its products - particularly UHU and Bison - in israil through local distributors, thereby contributing to the settlement economy and the normalization of the occupation.

1. Sale of UHU Products in israil via Local Distributor (Berman): According to a report by israeli newspaper Ynet, UHU products - including various types of glue (Stick, Liquid, etc.) - are sold in major israeli retail chains such as Kravitz, Kfar Hasha'ashuim, and Office Depot. The local distributor for UHU products in israil is Berman, a company belonging to Modan. In 2015, Ynet revealed that UHU products were being sold without an importer label and without Hebrew text on the individual product packaging, prompting israel's Ministry of Economy to take action against the product. This means Bolton Group sells its products in israil through israeli distribution networks, contributing to the israeli economy.Ynet: UHU glue sold without Hebrew labeling in israeli retail chains — importer is Berman, a Modan company (July 2015)Ynet: Consumer Protection Authority — all imported products must be sold with Hebrew labeling
2. Sale of Bison Products in israil via RPT (Ministry of Defense Supplier): According to the website of israeli company RPT, Bison products - including various types of adhesives - are sold in israil through this company. RPT is headquartered in Givatayim and is registered as a supplier to the israeli Ministry of Defense under number 11009534. This means that Bison, part of Bolton Group's adhesives division, is distributed in israil through an israeli company with ties to the israeli defense establishment. Consequently, Bolton Group's profits from Bison sales in israil flow directly into the israeli economy.RPT Official Website: Bison adhesive products — supplier to the israeli Ministry of Defense (No. 11009534)RPT: Office located in Givatayim, israel
3. BISON ITZHAK Company Registered in israil: According to israeli business registry database Info-clipper, there is a company registered in israil under the name BISON ITZHAK, headquartered at 138 Herzl City, Tel Aviv-Jaffa. This company is listed in the israeli registry with a registered address in Tel Aviv. This indicates the existence of an israeli legal entity associated with the name "Bison," reinforcing the commercial presence of the Bison brand in the israeli market.Info-clipper: BISON ITZHAK — registered in israel, headquartered in Tel Aviv-Jaffa (138 Herzl City)
4. Commercial Presence in the Middle East from Dubai: Bolton Group has a regional office in Dubai known as Bolton Middle East, located at Fortune Tower - Office 2203, Jumeirah Lakes Towers. This office covers the group's operations in the Middle East region, including israil, across food, home care, and personal care sectors. The presence of a regional office in Dubai serves as a link between Bolton Group's global operations and regional markets, including the israeli market.Bolton Group Official Website: Contatti — Bolton Middle East, Fortune Tower, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai
5. Stark Double Standards in Crisis Response: Although Bolton Group describes itself as a socially responsible company and affirms its commitment to sustainability and human rights through its participation in the UN Global Compact and WWF, it has issued no statement condemning the genocide in Gaza or the illegal settlement enterprise in the West Bank. Instead, the company has chosen "strict silence" on these issues while continuing to sell its products in israil through local distributors. This stark contradiction between claims of social responsibility and actual involvement in the israeli economy exposes the company's double standards.Bolton Group Official Website: Sustainability — We Care plan, UN Global Compact, WWF partnershipYnet: UHU products sold in israeli retail chains (July 2015)
