Kiryat Matlon
The industrial area was named after the residential neighborhood in Petah Tikva that lies to the west of it. It was named after Moshe Matlon, who was one of its founders. Another name of the industrial area is "Ramat Siv", due to the number of fiber factories that were located there in the past. For the same reason, one of the main streets in the industrial area is called "HaSivim". The area was established in the second half of the 40s of the 20th century at the initiative of the Association of Industrialists in Israel .
