MAGLITE

What global trend or market shift are you most enthusiastic about?

Bringing America back! MAGLITE has always been a brand committed to the ideals of American ingenuity and manufacturing. Mr. Maglica, the owner of Mag Instrument, Inc. and inventor of the MAGLITE flashlight, attributes his success to using quality American labor and resources during a time when most other companies have outsourced. As a proud American manufacturer, we support the “Bring Jobs Back to America” movement, but we're proud to say we don’t have to do so because we never left, and never will.

What makes your company a standout in the Hardware and Home Improvement industry?

MAGLITE is a leader in the handheld lighting category known for its performance durability and dependability. Whether you are a DIY’er, Trade Professional or a Prepared Consumer, MAGLITE has proven time and time again that it will work when you need it most. 

Any advice for the next generation?

As our president and founder, Anthony (Tony) Maglica would say – never forget the principles of the 4Ds - Desire, Determination, Dedication and Discipline. If you live your life by these principles, you’ll have everything you need to succeed on the job, at home, or in life.
