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 Groupโs robust ability to support the Israeli economy through a unique, resilient supply chain โ 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 Groupโs extensive infrastructure, featuring strategic storage terminals, an advanced marine fleet, strong land logistics capabilities, and two specialized terminals for chemicals and oils โ all of which form a vital backbone for Israelโs supply stability.
โIsrael must ensure a reliable backup for its manufacturing and industrial sectors, especially given the geopolitical challenges and global market volatility,โ said Shalem. โGadot continues to expand its emergency stockpiles and strengthen partnerships with industry players to ensure a supply chain that remains independent of external dependencies.โ
The presentation included data on Gadotโs fuel storage capacity, which accounts for around 40% of Israelโs 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.
