Magal Reports a Change in its Operational Structure by Merging its Two U.S.
Based Subsidiaries
Monday April 4, 4:20 am ET
YAHUD, Israel, April 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ NM:MAGS, TASE:MAGS) today announced that it is
merging its two US subsidiary companies into one entity. The decision was made
in order to better adapt its operations in the United States to developments in
the US market, particularly those concerning the Department of Homeland
Security. Therefore, Senstar-Stellar Inc. and Perimeter Products, Inc. will be
merged into one company, to be called Magal-Senstar, Inc.
Commenting on the pending merger, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal, said:
"This merger will increase the ability of the Magal Group to market and sell its
products in the United States and will also reduce our overhead expenses,
leading to an increase in the efficiency of our US operations. The merger will
create a larger entity and a significant market participant, which we believe
will present a more competitive force in the US defense and homeland security
markets."
