Magal Opens Office near Washington DC to Focus on Homeland Security Solutions

YAHUD, Israel

Magal Security Systems´ US subsidiary, Magal Senstar Inc., has opened a new office in Herndon, VA, adjacent to Washington Dulles Airport. The mission of this office is to serve the growing needs of local, state and federal Homeland Security requirements. This office will focus exclusively on providing a comprehensive security architecture for perimeter applications, which is comprised of command and control, physical security sensors, and intelligent video.

The facility will host several of Magal's advanced sensor solutions for intrusion detection, pipeline infiltration, intelligent video surveillance, and multi-sensor command and control. The "solution center" will demonstrate integration of Magal's leading perimeter sensors, with advanced intelligent video for real time decision support on the response to possible intrusions.
"At the end of the day, most security people we interact with are skeptical of new vendors who talk about new security technology," says Rob Welton, Director for Homeland Security, Magal Senstar, Inc.. "We're one of the few companies who not only build the systems and sensors, and help to deploy them; we are now able to demonstrate our capabilities at a convenient site."
Izhar Dekel, CEO of Magal added, "Our new physical presence near Washington DC, will provide us with better access to the key decision makers and politicians in the US Homeland Security Department. We are now providing our Washington DC - based customers with both a local presence and a rich international security experience".
