History
The Keter brand evolved from a small workshop established in Jaffa in 1948, specializing in the production of plastic combs, toys and housewares. In 1971, Joseph Sagol bought out his partners' shares in the workshop, and the Sagol family has owned Keter ever since. Sagol later handed the management of the company over to his sons, Sami and Itzhak.
Since 1978, Keter Plastic has expanded its home product lines to include garden sheds, toolboxes, bathroom cabinets, backyard playhouses for children, and more – all made of resin.
In 1991, Keter acquired competitor L.M. Lipski.
In 2011, Keter won Red Dot Design Award for its RealBarrow, a heavy-duty wheelbarrow with an L-shape "bulldozer" shovel.
In June 2013, Keter was one of several companies subjected to a boycott by the United Church of Canada due to its business activities in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
In 2016, the private equity firm BC Partners purchased 80% of Keter for 1.36 billion dollars.
