Greenkote
Additional Details
Greenkote PLC is a USA-based company engaged in the development and marketing of thermal diffusion technology for metal protection coatings for the construction, automotive, and mining industries. The company is registered as a United Kingdom company, with plants in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The company was placed on the UN blacklist due to its factory activities and operation of production lines that serve illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. It also supplies the Israeli military; according to human rights reports and data monitoring the Israeli economy (such as the international organization Who Profits), Greenkote and its licensed facilities in Israel operate as a supplier of protective coating services for the Israeli military and security apparatus—which are implicated in the genocide in the Gaza Strip—to protect vehicles and equipment from corrosion.
