What Maman does

Maman Group is a publicly traded Israeli logistics conglomerate (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: Maman) founded in 1974 and headquartered in Lod. Originally established as a government company to operate Israel's main air cargo terminal at Ben-Gurion Airport, it was privatized in 1989 and now operates four business fields — Air Cargo Terminal Operations, Aviation & Tourism Services, Real Estate Entrepreneurship, and Logistics & Distribution — through 11 wholly owned subsidiaries including Maman Cargo Terminals, Logisticare, Globus, Archive 2000, Laufer Group, Tal Limousine, Maman Aviation, M.T.R, MEL, IBT, and Maman Real Estate Development. The group employs approximately 2,900 people and handles around 300,000 tons of air cargo annually, 26,000 flights and 6 million passengers at Ben-Gurion and Ramon Airports, 3.6 million archived boxes, and operates roughly 660,000 sqm of group-wide storage including a flagship 80,000 sqm European logistics complex in the Czech Republic.

The business monetizes primarily through B2B enterprise contracts: transaction fees for cargo terminal handling, managed logistics services for storage and distribution, professional services for airline ground handling and GSA representation (Maman Aviation is the exclusive Israeli representative of the APG NETWORK across 110 countries and markets 20+ airlines), VIP transportation services (Tal Limousine in 250 international destinations), railway equipment manufacturing and maintenance (M.T.R for Israel Railways, STADLER, Bombardier, Siemens), real estate development via a partnership with Geb-Yam, and secure document archiving (Archive 2000). Pricing is bespoke per contract with multi-year terms and is not publicly disclosed. The technology stack includes an automatic storage and locating system at the cargo terminal, a 2020-launched innovative sorting center, real-time shipment tracking via a customer web portal, and advanced planning and control systems across 14 nationwide logistics centers.

The group holds ISO 22301:2019 business continuity certification across four operating subsidiaries, ISO 27001 for Logisticare, IATA membership, EN 15085 welding certification for MTR, and EUROCODE-8 compliance for Archive 2000 shelving. Named enterprise customers include Virgin Atlantic, Etihad, Korean Air, Cyprus Airways, Air France/KLM Cargo, Kimberly-Clark, Michelin, Israel Chemicals, STADLER, Bombardier, and Siemens. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the recent CEO appointment of Ofer Bloch (September 2022, formerly CEO of Israel Electric Corporation, Netafim, YES, and Tnuva) signals an active operational refresh.
