FRANCOIS WOLF SENIOR

President

  M. Wolf arrived in Canada in 1956.He founded his company Plastique Frapa in Montreal in 1969. Having studied engineering in Germany for 4 years, he was an accomplished mold maker. He was actually considered one of the best in his profession. He added plastic injection machines 1 year later to his mold making operations.

Many years of hard work later, in 1985, with his wife, daughter and son, he started manufacturing hydroculture flower pots Canflor 2000.

During that period he also worked with researchers in the greenhouse tomatoes production and developed N.F.T. and Aeroponics systems. The N.F.T. system developed at that time is still a major selling system in North America and Europe today.

In 1999, M. Wolf decided to built his own plastic production plant. He designed and contracted the 20 000 square feet building himself. Since that day, Plastique Frapa is manufacturing plastic exclusively for the hydroponic industry. His latest work is the manufacturing , in Canada, of the newest revolutionary aeroponic dry water foggers from Israel.

M. Wolf, now 73 years old, is one of the most respected  businessman in the industry. He works 7 days a week, always the first one "in" and the last one "out". " I feel that honesty is the key to long term success. It is actually the key to everything. The relation between retail stores and wholesalers should be based on that. Otherwise it will be a short term relation. It is not always easy but the only way to do. Honesty will bring trust between them. The two of them should also trust the products they sell."

AMIRAM KESHET
  President

Shira has been establish by MR. A. Keshet along with ADI for the purpose of developing the aeroponics, method of which plants are growing with their bare roots system in the air detached of any media. Along the basic R&D activity it has been found that many plant bare roots are being damaged because of injured by high-energy misted nutrient droplet size. In order to solve the misted high droplets, Shiras' researchers have developed the ultrasound mist system. Down the road, the ultrasound fogging method has been adopted and modified and upgrading to the current Shira ultrasonic fogging technology that being used in many fog applications industries.
