Eli Hurvitz (born 1932, died 21 November 2011) was an Israeli industrialist. He was the
Chairman of the Board and former CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries at the time of
his death.
Early Life & Education
Eliyahu (Eli) Hurvitz was born in Jerusalem, in the British Mandate of Palestine, in 1932. In 1934, his family moved
to Tel Aviv. In May 1948, he and his classmates were drafted by the Israel Defense Forces to fight in the 1948 Arab-
Israeli War. In early 1949 he resumed his studies for five months and completed his matriculation (Bagrut) exams.
After graduation, he joined kibbutz Tel Katzir, where he met Dalia Solomon. In June 1953 they married, and they left
the kibbutz in October.
Hurwitz studied economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He joined Assia Chemical Labs Ltd., a small firm
of which Dalia's father was a managing partner, as a dishwasher in the laboratory. After his graduation from Hebrew
University in 1957 he began doing office work at Assia and moved to executive ranks. In 1964, Assia merged with
Zori and in 1969 acquired a controlling interest in Teva. In 1976, the three firms merged into Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd. with Hurvitz as the CEO. He resigned as CEO in 2002 and handed over the position to Israel Makov,

chairman of the board of Bank Leumi. In 1987, he resigned after his name was associated with Israel's bank stock
crisis of 1983.
