History of Maglite

Maglite torches have been a household name for decades when it comes to quality and durability. The story begins in 1955, when Anthony Maglica, a Croatian immigrant to the United States, founded Mag Instrument Inc. . What began as a small company specialising in precision parts soon evolved into a manufacturer of torches that would change the industry.

The breakthrough came in 1979 with the release of the first Maglite. This torch was developed specifically for professionals such as police and emergency services, who were looking for reliability and power. The sturdy aluminium housing, combined with a precisely adjustable beam, made Maglite a favourite among those who worked in challenging conditions.

Over the years, Maglite continued to innovate, culminating in the switch to LED technology in 2006. This created a new generation of torches that were even more energy-efficient and bright. Today, Maglite is still a symbol of American craftsmanship, popular among professionals and adventurers alike, who know they can rely on their performance in all conditions.
