Dahlia Greidinger (July 27, 1926 – July 16, 1979) was an Israeli scientist who helped develop the country's chemical industry.
Dahlia Greidinger was born in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv. She was a fifth generation Sabra. Her parents were Miriam Rokach and Joseph Katzenelbogen-Katz.
She attended the Hebrew Reali School of Haifa. She earned an M.Sc. in chemistry from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, where she graduated with distinction. [1]
Returning to Israel after her education in Switzerland, she was the first editor of Israel Scientific Council Magazine. [1] In 1951, Greidinger became a teaching and research assistant at the Technion — Israel Institute of Technology. [1] After completing her doctorate in 1958, she began working at Deshanim Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd. By 1969, she was appointed director of Research and Development and elected to the board of directors. [2] The company grew to become Israel's largest supplier of fertilizers.
Greidinger wrote for scientific publications and was the holder of several patents, among them a patent on Controlled release particulate fertilizer composition, [3] 'Stable liquid N-P-K fertilizer composition and method of use', [4] a liquid fertilizer composition storable for 6–8 months, and Solid Ammonium Polyphosphate Compositions and Manufacture. [5] She was a member of the European Committee for Expansion, the Association of Academic Women and the Anti-Cancer Association. [1]
The Feinberg Graduate School of Weizmann Institute of Science awards a fellowship for cancer research financed by the Dahlia Greidinger Anti-Cancer Fund. [6] In honor of her contributions in the field of chemistry and fertilization systems, the family established the Dahlia Greidinger Fertilizer Research Fund.
She married Kalman (Coleman) [7] Greidinger, a cinema company businessman, [8] in October 1950. They had four children, [1] including sons Moshe ("Mooky") and Israel, who are leaders in their father and grandfather's successor company, Cineworld. [8] [7]
