Andres Ruzo, Chairman and CEO of LinkAmerica
North Texas is economically, geographically and technologically positioned to catapult businesses to connect and grow globally.
In addition it has a significant strength in its diverse and knowledge-based workforce. It provided our best choice for driving
innovation, collaboration and for expanding “Near Shore” service support and service delivery platforms, key for companies
that are seeking North - South trade within the emergent Americas consumer markets.

Maestro Jaap Van Zweden,
Dallas Symphony Orchestra
I was very excited when I was asked
to be the Dallas Symphony’s Music
Director. The positive spirit of business
leaders in North Texas was felt from
my very first visit. That positive focus
guides our orchestra and the excellence we
strive for in our music-making.
“Ik was erg enthousiast toen ik werd gevraagd
om de Dallas Symphony’s Music directeur.
De positieve geest van zakelijke leiders in Noord-Texas
werd gevoeld van mijn eerste bezoek. Die
positieve aandacht leidt ons orkest, en
de uitmuntendheid streven we naar in
onze muziek maken. “
Marc Paganini, President and CEO of American Eurocopter
“Our company has had roots in North Texas since 1969, when it partnered with
Vought Helicopters to market Aerospatiale helicopters in the U.S. Since that time
American Eurocopter and its predecessor companies have enjoyed great success in
significant part due to the business environment of North Texas and the fine people
here that have built this company.”
“Notre entreprise a ses racines dans le nord du Texas depuis 1969, quand elle
s’est associée avec Vought Helicopters afin de commercialiser sur le marché
américain les hélicoptères d’Aérospatiale. Depuis ce temps,
American Eurocopter et ses prédécesseurs ont connu un
grand succès en grande partie à cause de l’environnement
prospère des affaires dans la region Nord-Texane et de
la grande qualité professionnelle des gens qui ont
construit cette société.”
Alon USA initially decided to be based in North Texas, as the predecessor was based there. This proved to be a correct decision
due to Texas being the ideal location for conducting business coast to coast (enhanced by the world class international airport),
no state income tax and the low cost of living, which is good for our employees and executives. The strong population growth in
North Texas means regional investments will outperform other markets. The welcoming pro-Israel environment means political
challenges are minimized. Texas is a lone star state and Israel, carrying the Star of David on its flag,
shares the same principals. As my chairman once said, Texans do what they say and say what they mean.
In Hebrew, we call that “Tachles” – no beating around the bush. That is a fundamental advantage for doing business!
.בתחילה, החברה שלנו החליטה להיות מבוססת בצפון טקסס מאחר וקודמנו התבסס שם
החלטה זו התבררה כנכונה מאחר וטקסס הינהבמיקום אידיאלי לניהול עסקים מחוף לחוף (משופר על ידי שדה
התעופה בינלאומי מהשורה הראשונה), אין מס הכנסה מדינתי, עלות המחייה נמוכה יחסית, דבר שהינו טוב
לעובדים ומנהלים, וגידול האוכלוסייה המשמעותי מביא להשקעות אזוריות על פני שווקים אחרים. הסביבה
מסבירת הפנים למשקיעים ישראלים משמעותה מינימום אתגרים פוליט
