OUR COMPANY
Values & Journey
View International Logistics Services was founded from the field of activity itself – from daily work in the world of shipping, transportation and international trade, and from a deep understanding of the real challenges facing importers, exporters and suppliers in our region.
View began its journey as a boutique company specializing in accompanying shipments between Middle Eastern countries, with specialization in commercial relations between Jordan, Israel, Turkey and the Gulf countries. From the very beginning, the company emphasized creative solutions, high availability, and the ability to provide a response even in complex and urgent cases – an advantage that quickly became a household name among its customers.
Over the years, the company’s activity expanded, additional shipping lines were added, collaborations with agents and international shipping companies were established, and the scope of activity increased accordingly. At the same time, the areas of service were also expanded – from sea and land shipping, through warehousing services, tag replacement and packaging, to locating suppliers and financial support for international trade transactions.
A significant milestone in View’s history is the establishment of an independent operational system in Jordan, which allows for full control of the supply chain, rapid response to customers, and the ability to provide end-to-end service at the highest level.
Throughout, View has maintained the same DNA that has accompanied it since its inception: uncompromising professionalism, absolute reliability, complete transparency with the customer, and long-term thinking. These values are what have made View a preferred logistics partner for dozens of companies and businesses in Israel and abroad.
Today, View continues to grow, open new lines of activity, and move its customers forward in a dynamic, competitive, and changing logistics world – while maintaining personal service, a direct approach, and a broad strategic vision.
