Rami Unger: The Business Mogul of Israel
In the realm of Israeli business,
Rami Abraham Unger stands out as a prominent figure, with diverse interests spanning the import of automobiles, shipping, and real estate. Born in 1947 into a well-established family in northern Tel Aviv, Rami's father was Shalom Unger. His educational journey took him to the British Isles, where he studied at a private school in Britain. Following his early education, he served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as part of the Intelligence Corps.
Together with the company "Netzba," owned by members of the "Agad" group, Unger became an importer of Daihatsu automobiles in Israel. In 1985, he sold his stake in the agency to "Netzba," and in 1989, he acquired full control of the agency. Simultaneously,
he entered the maritime shipping industry through his ownership of the Ray Shipping company.
By 2010, his company possessed over 60 vessels,
specializing in the transportation of automobiles,
with a total value exceeding $3 billion.
In 2013, Deputy Head of the Mossad, Yossi Cohen, intervened in a dispute over the rights to import Kia vehicles. Later on, Unger donated 1.1 million shekels from a Panamanian company to Cohen's synagogue, facing Cohen's residence. Another car brand imported by "Telecar" into Israel is "SsangYong."
