Background
Shaul Elovitch was born in 1949 in Poland and made aliyah to Israel when he was two years old. He grew up in Tel Aviv and married at the age of 20. In 1968, shortly after completing his military service, he joined his father-in-law's small business of installing intercoms and television antennas and importing telephones. For a time he studied law but did not complete the requirements for the degree, preferring instead to devote himself to his business pursuits.[1][2]
From R.A.P. to Eurocom
As manager of his father-in-law's company, R.A.P., the young Elovitch was also involved in the distribution of products by a telephone manufacturing company called Eurocom. Eurocom had been established in 1979 to take the place of a telephone plant that had operated in Iran until Ayatolla Khomeini's rise to power. In 1985, Elovitch acquired Eurocom.[3]
Bezeq acquisition
By 2009, Shaul Elovitch was seriously examining the prospect of acquiring either Partner Communications Company or Bezeq.[4] Later that year it was announced that Elovitch was opting for a deal with the latter.[5] On 14 April 2010 the ownership of Bezeq was transferred from the Apax-Saban-Arkin group to a new subsidiary of Eurocom, B Communications.[6]
