Our strength is in data analysis to find the right opportunities, and then efficient operation & logistics capabilities to sell products internationally.

With growth comes complexity, and we are looking for energetic and committed specialists that can help us increase operational efficiency in order to accommodate more workflow within the operation demand.
Our core values are efficiency, drive, positivity, integrity. We run a positive culture with a lot of advanced business concepts, working in a very high-efficiency environment. We are direct and clear but not rude or aggressive. Demanding but don’t work overtime or on weekends and holidays.
