About Maglite

Maglite® — Made in America Since 1955 Maglite was born from one man's pursuit of the American Dream. In 1955, Tony Maglica — an immigrant machinist who arrived in America speaking no English and with $125 to his name — founded Mag Instrument, Inc. out of a one-car garage in Los Angeles. He started by making precision parts for aerospace and the military, quickly earning a reputation for quality and ingenuity. In 1979, he set his sights on reinventing the flashlight. The result was the Maglite® — a rugged, anodized aluminum flashlight that police officers, firefighters, and mechanics quickly adopted as the gold standard in portable lighting. It didn't just change an industry; it became an icon. Fortune and Money magazines named it among the top 100 products "America makes best." The Wall Street Journal called it the Cadillac of flashlights. It's been honored by design museums in Japan and Germany — and it's still made right here in Ontario, California. Today, Maglite operates over 700,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space with hundreds of American employees. The product line has expanded from the original classic to LED, rechargeable, tactical, and specialty collections — but the commitment behind every flashlight remains unchanged: uncompromising quality, American craftsmanship, and a light you can depend on when it matters most.Read their story
