Only two years after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 wave of aliyah immigration drove the government to encourage new industries. [1] In 1950, a tire manufacturer plant named Samson was founded in Petah Tikva by General Tire and Rubber Company. A few executives from the Solel Boneh company decided to open a competing company and later that year, with know-how from the "Dayton Tire and Rubber Company" (since bought by Bridgestone), Alliance was founded. Dayton was owned by A. L. Friedlander, for which the street the company is located on has been named. Friedlander, a Jewish zionist was excited about the venture and managed to raise funds from fifteen other enthusiastic American Jews who would share a 49% stake. In 1971, Alliance acquired Samson.[ citation needed ]
