Description

Mag Instrument is the only flashlight maker with significant market share that still manufactures its entire line of flashlights in the United States. Our world class manufacturing facility in Southern California, to which every one of our manufacturing employees reports for work, is just a few miles down the road from the place where, in 1955, our president and founder started in business as a one-man machine shop in a rented garage.

Mag Instrument is the only flashlight company with significant market share that still manufacturers its entire line of flashlights in the United States. Unlike its competitors, Mag Instrument has chosen not to outsource the manufacturing of its flashlights to foreign countries in order to take advantage of cheap labor and less stringent environmental standards, which may also result in inferior quality.

Mag Instrument is a member of the National Association of Manufacturers, a nationwide organization that advocates for governmental policies that can help to preserve and grow American manufacturing. Mag Instrument is an executive member of the California Chamber of Commerce. As such, Mag has consistently raised its voice against "job killer bills" that would handicap California-based manufacturers, and in favor of legislation aimed at keeping the state's manufacturing businesses healthy. Mag Instrument loyally supports the City of Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

The MAGLITE FOUNDATION sm is a non-profit Croatian entity, which was established in 1997 by Mag Instrument. Anthony Maglica, President and Founder of Mag Instrument, is the President of the Managing Board for the Foundation. The Foundation logo shown to the right symbolizes a globe with light emanating from the Maglite Corporate Headquarters in Ontario, California in North America to the Adriatic Sea.

This scenario is anything but far-fetched. In fact, every supplier of flashlights with a significant U.S. market share now manufactures all or most of its flashlights outside the United States. Every one, that is, except Mag Instrument.
