Michael Shor (Hebrew: מיכאל שור‎, 1920 – 26 September 2011) was an Israeli engineer who served for 17 years as the CEO of Israel Military Industries (IMI), and was twice the recipient of the Israel Defense Prize.

Biography

Shor was born in Odessa in the Soviet Union. In 1938 he immigrated to the British Mandate for Palestine (now Israel). Shor joined the Haganah forces and integrated into its arms industry. After completing his studies of chemical engineering at the Technion in 1945, he worked as an experiments engineer in the military industry. After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War Shor managed the IMI materials plant, and for his work there he was awarded the 1959 Israel Defense Prize.[1] In the 1960s Shor managed the IMI Department of explosives. In 1967 he was appointed as the deputy director of the IMI while continuing to manage the IMI Department of explosives. In July 1972 Shor was appointed as the CEO of the Israel Military Industries, a position which he maintained until 1989. Afterwards he was a chairman in the IMI during the years 1990-1991. After his retirement Shor was awarded the 1991 Israel Defense Prize for lifetime achievement.

In 1985 Shor was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science from the Technion for his unique contribution to the development of the military industries in the field of engineering, management and economics, and in recognition for his part in the strengthening of the Israeli defense establishment.

Shor died in 2011 at the age of 91.[2]
