Ofra Strauss Joins TopGum's Board of Directors

SDEROT and RAMAT GAN, Israel, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TopGum Industries Ltd. (TASE: TPGM), the global dietary supplements company that began its operations in Sderot, Israel, today announced the appointment of Ofra Strauss, Chairperson of Strauss Group since 2001, to its Board of Directors.

Founded in 2004, TopGum develops and manufactures gummy dietary supplements for leading brands in North America and around the world. In November 2025, the Company began commercial operations at a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sderot. Today, TopGum operates production sites in Israel, Canada and the U.S. and employs more than 400 people.

Ms. Strauss joins TopGum's Board at a pivotal stage in the Company's development, as it operates at the intersection of nutrition, health and innovation and expands its presence in international markets.

The connection between Ofra Strauss and TopGum reflects a shared commitment to Israeli industry in Sderot and to connecting local roots with global growth. Sderot and the Negev have long been part of Ms. Strauss's work – much like TopGum, which grew in Sderot and continues to invest in the city as it expands worldwide.

Ofra Strauss said: "I am delighted to join TopGum's Board of Directors. I have always believed in the ability of Israeli companies to grow from here and build a meaningful global presence, while staying connected to the place and the people where they started. TopGum, an innovative company growing from Sderot to the world, embodies exactly that connection. I look forward to contributing my experience and being part of the journey ahead."

Raviv Zoller, Executive Chairman of TopGum, said: "We are delighted and proud to welcome Ofra Strauss to TopGum's Board of Directors. Ofra is one of Israel's most prominent and respected business leaders and industrialists. I am confident that her extensive experience leading Strauss Group and expanding its international operations will be invaluable to TopGum, as the Company reaches a pivotal stage in its development and transforms from a local company into a global one, bringing its innovative products to markets around the world."

TopGum in a Period of Accelerated Growth

In the second quarter of 2026, TopGum reported its tenth consecutive record quarter, with revenue of approximately $33.8 million and organic growth of approximately 50%. First-half Group revenue totaled approximately $65.7 million, up approximately 65%, and the order backlog in the dietary supplements segment reached a record of approximately $57 million. The Company expects revenue in the second half of 2026 to reflect an annualized run rate of more than $145 million.

In May 2026, TopGum completed the acquisition of PL Developments' U.S. gummy manufacturing operations, giving the Company its first physical presence in its primary target market and a foothold in the pharmaceutical space. The transaction followed the 2025 acquisition of the operations of Canada-based Island Abbey.

Ms. Strauss's appointment is the latest in a series of senior appointments the Company has made in recent years, including Raviv Zoller, former CEO of ICL Group, as Executive Chairman, and Eyal Shohat, former CEO of SodaStream, as Chief Executive Officer.
