Magal Receives an Order for its PipeGuard System to Protect Banks From Underground Intrusions

YAHUD, Israel, December 11  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ GM: MAGS; TASE: MAGS), today announced it has received an order through one of its fully owned subsidiaries, to install its PipeGuard system to protect 6 bank branches from underground intrusions. The work is expected to be executed before the end of the first quarter of 2007.

Following a long and thorough market study, Magal came to the conclusion that one of the major physical threats that banks worldwide currently face, are robberies of valuables contained in safes located below ground by the digging of tunnels beneath the bank's building.

Magal Group's PipeGuard system utilizes an innovative and unique technology to guard buried assets. The system has the ability to detect potential attacks and intrusions and alert authorities before potential harm or damage occurs. This order utilizes the PipeGuard's advanced technological capabilities to prevent underground intrusions into bank buildings and break-ins into the bank's safes and other secure areas.

Izhar Dekel, CEO of Magal, said: "We are very proud to penetrate this new niche of protecting banks from underground intrusions. We identified this particular niche as one that carries a huge marketing potential for our PipeGuard system. We expect this order will be followed by more orders from this customer and from other banks worldwide during 2007. This order also validates the PipeGuard's technology as the solution for protecting valuable buried assets. "
