Flying Cargo

What Flying Cargo does

Flying Cargo is an Israeli private logistics group founded in 1982 that provides end-to-end supply chain services to enterprise customers in advanced industries (defense and aerospace, high-tech and semiconductors, medical equipment, renewable energy) and FMCG (food, cosmetics, home appliances). Operations span more than ten logistics sites across Israel — including a LEED-certified center in Kiryat Gat and the temperature-controlled Tzirifin hub — supported by a fleet of 150+ specialized trucks, 65–70 daily FMCG distribution routes, and approximately 1,000–5,000 employees. The group includes the procurement and contract-manufacturing sister company Smart Vein Ltd.

The core technology stack combines Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transportation Management Systems (TMS), and the SCExpert core logistics platform, integrated directly into customer ERPs. Differentiated tooling includes Modula semi-automatic vertical picking, Pick-to-Light visual-guided sorting, a proprietary kit-picking carousel engineered to align with customer production lines, a DEPO back-to-back distribution station, and an in-house QA laboratory staffed by Flying Cargo engineers. The customer-facing NetLog/m4nScreens portal, Cloudflare-secured infrastructure, and digital marketing layer (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) complete the technology surface.

Revenue is generated under bespoke multi-year B2B contracts through managed services (warehousing, kitting, line feeding, FMCG distribution, global supply chain management), transaction-based fees (specialized transport), and professional services (assembly/light manufacturing, custom packaging, procurement). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, augmented by an SDR/inside-sales function at Tzirifin and a Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) channel partner network extending coverage into North America, Europe, and Asia. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, and 13485 certifications, AS 9100D, the Israeli Platinum Seal, and LEED compliance for new builds.

Broad incumbents

• XPO Logistics: Major North American and European contract-logistics and transportation provider with significant presence in industrial, retail, and consumer verticals. Overlaps with Flying Cargo's warehousing, kitting, and dedicated-site operating model.
• DB Schenker: Global logistics provider with land, air, ocean, and contract-logistics services, with notable strength in automotive, industrial, and high-tech verticals. Comparable in the breadth of transport + warehousing solutions and the project/heavy-haul transport capability that mirrors Flying Cargo's specialized fleet.
• Nippon Express: Japan-headquartered global logistics provider with warehousing, forwarding, and heavy-haul capabilities. Overlaps with Flying Cargo's combination of temperature-controlled transport, hazardous-goods handling, and project logistics.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global contract-logistics leader offering warehousing, transport, and value-added services across multiple verticals including consumer, life sciences, automotive, and technology. Comparable as a direct competitor in contract logistics, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Flying Cargo's Israel-centric operations.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders and contract-logistics providers with deep pharma, aerospace, and high-tech verticals. Directly comparable to Flying Cargo's high-touch, regulated-industry logistics model but with global owned infrastructure across 100+ countries.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics company with strong contract-logistics, road, air, and sea freight offerings, plus solutions for aerospace, healthcare, and high-tech. Comparable end-to-end service portfolio and similar vertical focus to Flying Cargo, but with global owned infrastructure.

Direct peers

• GXO Logistics: Pure-play contract-logistics provider specializing in warehousing, distribution, and value-added services including kitting, packaging, and reverse logistics.

Comparable in contract-logistics scope and customer mix to Flying Cargo, though CEVA operates at global scale.

Regional players

• ZIM Integrated Shipping Services: Israel-headquartered global container shipping and logistics company. Comparable as an Israeli-rooted logistics player operating globally, though focused primarily on ocean freight rather than Flying Cargo's contract-logistics and trucking model.
• Shibolet Group: Israeli logistics and forwarding provider offering customs clearance, warehousing, distribution, and supply-chain services to enterprise customers. Comparable as a domestic Israeli 3PL competitor serving similar enterprise and import/export customers in the same market as Flying Cargo.
