For information, the young yosef merdinger immigrated to israel in 1949 and teamed up with wilhelm kerner and michael steinmetz with whom he had learned the art of handmade silver in their hometown of tshernowitz, romania. Harzorfim goldsmithing was established in 1952 in a workshop of one of their family homes. With the development of their business and their competence in producing pure silver coins, hazorfim moved to tel aviv. In 1983, the merdinger family bought its two partners to become the sole owner of hazorfim, which has since become the largest silver factory in the world and the standard-bearer of goldsmiths around the world.
