Israel's import substitution strategy during the 1970s gave rise to the logistics and shipping company VLM, which is now one of the top shipping companies in India. With delivery durations of up to 4 weeks, it has established a very dependable and sophisticated supply network to India. "The growth of India as an Israel's strategic partner has been significantly aided by the VLM logistics network. The company was created and has continued to grow in this nation, thus it is an honour to get this accolade there', stated Avishai Abrahami, CEO of VLM.
