As one of the industries innovative marketers, Avi's company once again launched another unprecedented success with the Epil-Stop line. Epil Stop is ranked America's #1 hair remover.

With Avi Sivan's push and determination to hold on to the company's rankings and achievements, his IGIA, Epilady, As Seen On TV, Epil Stop lones for health and beauty care products, he continously develop new and exciting products, like the patented Ion Hair Dryer that sold billions world wide, that has put the company as a leader in the industry.
And in March Helen of Troy Ltd. A designer, developer and worldwide marketer of Revlon, Vidal Sassun, Dr. Sholl, brand name personal care products acquired from Sivan and Mr. Ramchandani 55% ownership interest in IGIA.
Nonetheless, the acquisition has been a huge gain for Helen of Troy, as IGIA went from contributing $24 million of revenues and an operating loss in fiscla 2001 to over $108 million in revenues and a healthy #11.9 million in operating profit in fiscal 2002.
Pushed mainly by sales growth at IGIA, Helen of Troy has shown tremendous improvement in the midst of every tough and economic environment. For the financial year ended February the company grew sales by 24% to $451.2.
One Wall Street analyst said: "We consider Tactica to be the wild card in the Helen of troy story.
"Expose" magazine, with an article that was contributed by Gladson Interactive Servcies and a survey conducted by IRI (I Retailing indiustry) that excludes Wal-Mart data ranked Epil Stop as 3d top deoilatory product in the US.
But with the fewer SKU's, Tactica has virtually the same market share as the other leading marketers. The number reported does not include direct response TV efforts, print and catalogue which are considerable. The $27 million figure only reflects 18% of the market share. All combine make Mr. Sivan's company "Epil Stop" ranked as #1 in its category.
