In 1967, Yafa Brands CEO Yair Greenberg moved to Los Angeles, California to study business administration at California State University, a subject not yet available for study in his young homeland of Israel. Fifty-five years later, that ambition has reached full fruition. Currently, Yafa is the exclusive distributor of 13 distinct brands including Delta, Nettuno 1911, and Maiora; Germany's Diplomat; Italy's Pineider, Stipula, Tibaldi, and Marlen; and U.S. brands Conklin, Monteverde USA, and Private Reserve Ink, which Yafa also owns and produces.
