ABOUT US
The story and people behind Daniel Factory
Our Story
Daniel Factory was established in 1992 by Daniel Giacaman, a master woodcarver whose family has been crafting olive wood for four generations. What started as a small workshop in the heart of Bethlehem has grown into a respected enterprise dedicated to preserving and promoting this ancient craft.
For over 30 years, we have been creating unique, handcrafted olive wood products that reflect the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Holy Land. Every piece tells a story – not only of the biblical significance of the olive wood but also of the skilled artisans who transform it with techniques passed down through generations.
Today, Daniel Factory continues to be a family-owned business, with the new generation bringing fresh ideas while maintaining the traditional craftsmanship that has been our foundation from the beginning.
