Over a friendly cup of coffee, we’re getting to know the people behind Ophir’s success. Today, we sit down with Nissim Bitton to hear about his professional journey, his personal interests, and his approach to leading the meticulous production team at Ophir.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Travel and culinary exploration are big parts of my life outside of work. I enjoy discovering new places and immersing myself in different cultures, as well as holidays, which offer cherished moments to create memories with family and friends. I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, particularly using my Ninja grill to prepare a variety of dishes.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, travel was halted, so I started a travel website. It began as a personal project to document and share experiences but grew into a platform offering travel tips to a wider audience. This project also led me to learn new skills in website management.
How do you keep up on the latest developments in the laser technology?
Understanding the latest developments in laser technology is crucial for our work at Ophir, even though we are not directly manufacturing lasers. I stay informed about innovations in the field and take an active role in selecting new lasers for our projects. This ensures we continue to deliver accurate and high-quality measurement tools to our customers.
Why is collaboration across departments so important to you?

This integration helps enhance efficiency and quality throughout our manufacturing process. Working closely with the development and engineering teams allows us to ensure smooth transitions from design to production.
What steps are taken at Ophir to improve efficiency?
We have adopted lean management principles to minimize waste and optimize workflows. This approach helps us reduce operational costs and lead times, making our solutions more cost-effective and quicker to deliver. Lean management is an ongoing journey, and there are many steps still to be taken to further our progress in this area.
What makes your team environment so rewarding?
The most fulfilling part of my job is working with the talented people in my department. I appreciate the mutual respect and the professional environment, where diverse opinions are valued, and everyone is committed to their roles.
How has your role at Ophir evolved over time?
My role at Ophir has grown over the years, and I continue to focus on improving our production capabilities and enhancing team collaboration.
