When discussing supply chain resilience, the conversation often starts with logistics. In reality, it is about much more than transportation. For manufacturers, importers, and critical industries across Israel, the ability to maintain a continuous supply of raw materials during periods of disruption has become a strategic necessity. At NEWCHEM 2026, Moshe Shalem, CEO of Gadot Mercury, addressed one of the most pressing challenges facing Israeli industry today: How can manufacturers ensure the uninterrupted supply of essential chemicals during maritime blockades and supply chain disruptions? As recent years have demonstrated, global uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and disruptions to international shipping can quickly impact production continuity, inventory management, and industrial operations. Building resilience requires more than alternative transportation routes. It requires strategic planning, diversified sourcing, supply chain visibility, storage infrastructure, and the ability to respond rapidly when conditions change. While the discussion focused on chemical supply, the lessons are relevant to every manufacturer and importer operating in today's increasingly complex environment. Thank you to the organizers of NEWCHEM 2026 for creating an important platform for discussing the future resilience of Israeli industry. #NEWCHEM2026 #SupplyChainResilience #BusinessContinuity #ChemicalIndustry #Manufacturing #ImportExport #IndustrialResilience #IsraelIndustry #Logistics #GADOTGroup
