What Mayan Group does

Mayan Group (legal entity Mayan Logistics (1977) Ltd.) is an Israeli freight forwarding and logistics company founded in 1977 by Uzi Aharoni and Jackie Nagler (deceased), now led by second-generation family executives including Co-CEOs Shai Inzelberg and Eyal Aharoni. The company provides end-to-end international trade logistics for Israeli importers and exporters, spanning ocean freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, customs brokerage, inland transportation, international courier, project logistics, drop shipments, and cargo insurance. It operates as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) with direct contracts with shipping lines and holds Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification from Israeli Customs, enabling expedited clearance and reduced inspections.

The business model is sales-led and relationship-based, with quote-based pricing per shipment. Mayan Group serves multiple primary verticals — pharmaceutical/healthcare, infrastructure/energy, defense/security, and general international trade — and supplements its direct sales force with exclusive representation of the WACO global logistics network in Israel, providing access to 125 partner firms across 121 countries. Its technology stack consists of operational information management systems (real-time cargo tracking, smart fleet management with GPS, and a business customer portal for self-service shipment management), integrated with carrier and agent systems rather than proprietary AI/ML. The group maintains physical operations at Israeli seaports (Ashdod, Haifa), Ben Gurion Airport, and its Bnei Brak headquarters, with a December 2025-announced consolidation merging subsidiaries Mayan Customs and Mayan Overseas into a single legal entity effective early 2026.
