At the Carriers Council Conference held in March 2025, Moshe Shalem, CEO of Gadot Mercury and Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at Gadot Group, presented the Group’s robust ability to support the Israeli economy through a unique, resilient supply chain — one capable of operating reliably even during times of crisis.
In his presentation, Shalem highlighted the critical importance of maintaining strategic stockpiles of essential raw materials for various industries. These include chemicals, oils, fuels, bitumen, grains, and construction materials. He emphasized Gadot Group’s extensive infrastructure, featuring strategic storage terminals, an advanced marine fleet, strong land logistics capabilities, and two specialized terminals for chemicals and oils — all of which form a vital backbone for Israel’s supply stability.
“Israel must ensure a reliable backup for its manufacturing and industrial sectors, especially given the geopolitical challenges and global market volatility,” said Shalem. “Gadot continues to expand its emergency stockpiles and strengthen partnerships with industry players to ensure a supply chain that remains independent of external dependencies.”
The presentation included data on Gadot’s fuel storage capacity, which accounts for around 40% of Israel’s national fuel reserves, as well as its contribution to national security and emergency preparedness.
Gadot Group calls for deeper collaboration between the private and public sectors to ensure economic stability and safeguard the continuous availability of essential raw materials throughout Israel.
