Mag Instrument ... a great American Made Hero Company. Ontario, California
Anthony Maglica, the founder of Mag Instrument, visits the factory floor in Ontario, Calif., nearly every morning.
He is dedicated to manufacturing the company's flashlights in the U.S. Maglica says people tell him all the time he could
make more money if he stopped insisting on making Maglites in the U.S. And he knows they're right. He just doesn't care.
Mr. Maglica feels responsible for every one of his employees
As a living example of a generation that understood true individual and corporate responsibility to his loyal employees, we
proudly applaud and welcome Mr. Maglica and all the employees at his Mag Instrument company as new members of
American Made Heroes!
Maglica was born into the Great Depression in New York. But he spent his formative years living in Croatia surviving hunger
and worse as World War II tore through Europe. When he returned to America and set out to start his own company, he says,
he had just $125. He has built a multimillion-dollar business, with more than 700 employees and customers all over the
world.
Lynn Perry, head of customer service for Mag Instrument, says a lot of people are surprised the flashlights are
domestically produced. They're amazed that we're right here, Perry says. "People think that this product is coming from
China. And you tell them, No, this is it, we're made in the U.S.A. We're still here."

When asked why, these shoppers mainly cited patriotic or altruistic goals related to the national economy, including creating and keeping jobs in the U.S., rather than product-specific considerations such as quality, safety, or cost.
