YAHUD, Israel, April 4  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ NM:MAGS, TASE:MAGS) today announced that it is merging its two US
subsidiary companies into one entity. The decision was made in order to better
adapt its operations in the United States to developments in the US market,
particularly those concerning the Department of Homeland Security. Therefore,
Senstar-Stellar Inc. and Perimeter Products, Inc. will be merged into one
company, to be called Magal-Senstar, Inc.

Commenting on the pending merger, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal, said:
"This merger will increase the ability of the Magal Group to market and sell
its products in the United States and will also reduce our overhead expenses,
leading to an increase in the efficiency of our US operations. The merger will
create a larger entity and a significant market participant, which we believe
will present a more competitive force in the US defense and homeland security
markets."
