About Ordilan Import & Marketing Co. Ltd.


Ordilan is a long-established company operating for 75 years in the field of wood, Importing wood, timber products, softwood, plywood, and construction formworks. Throughout the years, the company has consistently striven to increase the range of products marketed by entering new areas and expanding its customer base.

Ordilan markets its products from its large industrial plant in the Gan Yavne Industrial Zone where tens of thousands of cubic meters of wood are stored. In 2021, the company's revenue totaled about NIS 330 million (abt. 100 million euros).

Ordilan was founded in 1946 by the late Nachum Lichtenberg and other partners in Tel Aviv. In 1970 his sons Moti Tel-Or and Uzi Lichtenberg bought out the partners and a phase of rapid growth began. The company bought a warehouse in Holon covering 8,000 square meters and some years later the warehouse in Gan Yavne, which serves the company until today.
The total land in Gan Yavne now amounts to 40,000 plus square meters. In 2012, the company built a planning mill and a plant for laminating plywood and other sheet materials. In 2013, the company acquired a factory (formerly Triwall) with 35 employees for the manufacturing wood pallets.
At its inception Ordilan imported and marketed hard and soft woods. In recent years with the entry of the third generation- new areas have been developed.
