Ilan Gour Email & Phone Number

Hi, my name is Ilan Gour.I am the CEO of Extal. I like to dream big time and make things happen. I’m passionate about creating things from scratch, being part of people's dreams, and running ultra marathons, both literally and as a metaphor.I believe that innovation is a term rarely applied to the industrial world, especially when it comes to aluminum. In fact, it is often shunned. But, the world is changing due to greater global interconnectedness, and the one size fits all solutions in the industrial world are a thing of the past.At Extal, we are proud of being the technological spearhead. As an innovator in aluminum, Extal uses the latest technology, abides by the highest international standards, and is deeply committed to the quality of our products. We are motivated by our customer's and partners' success and thrive when our products solve their most complex challenges.Over the last two decades, first as VP sales and, since 2016, as CEO, I have brought my executive and technical leadership to Extal through successive growth stages, reaching and exceeding milestones and generating tremendous value along the way.On the outside, my efforts are reflected in Extal’s position as an industry leader in the aluminum field, creating elegant solutions to solve complex problems in ways that put us leagues above other competitors.On the inside, my work is revealed in dynamic, high-functioning teams that excel in visualizing solutions to client problems — and by quickly, efficiently, and effectively building and delivering those solutions.At the same time, as Aluminum producers, we believe Extal has an obligation to work towards a more socially responsible future. Extel develops products that are integrated into ecological construction. Our products are part of the solution in green construction and energy saving. Our manufacturing processes are aligned with the sustainable approach. We do this by meeting stringent European standards and by fully recycling raw materials.Throughout my career, I’ve taken chances and made mistakes; all of those decisions have led me here. What makes Extal successful are the possibilities that lie in the future. By continuing to evolve while holding ourselves to the highest standards, we’ll change the industry in ways that have yet to be imagined.
