The logistics and shipping business VLM, which is currently among the top shipping corporations in India, was founded as a result of Israel's import substitution policy in the 1970s. It has created a very reliable and sophisticated supply network to India, with delivery times of up to 4 weeks. "The VLM logistics network has considerably benefited India's development as Israel's strategic partner. It is an honour to receive this recognition there because the firm was founded and has expanded there, according to Avishai Abrahami, CEO of VLM.
