What Magam Safety does

Magam Safety Ltd. is an Israeli manufacturer of protective, rescue, and survivability equipment for military and civil customers, founded in 1934 by Frantz Levy in Nazareth Illit. The company designs and produces flexible fuel cells (including self-sealing variants for ballistic protection), inflatable products (life rafts for 1-26 persons, twin-chamber life jackets, professional inflatable boats), parachutes (T-10/Zabar and Mc1-1C), G-suits with 9.5G capability, and specialized equipment such as anti-mine footwear and multi-spectral inflatable decoys for battlefield deception. Products meet Israeli and U.S. military standards as well as SOLAS Convention requirements for maritime use, with flexible fuel cells rated for up to 50 years of service life and rubber fuel tanks for up to 15 years.

The business operates on a B2B hardware sales model through direct enterprise field sales to defense procurement agencies, including the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli Air Force, and Israeli Navy, as well as civil maritime and aviation customers worldwide. Magam is the sole supplier of internal self-sealing fuel tanks for the IDF Merkava main battle tank since 1974, with products also integrated in aircraft (Kfir, Fouga Magister), UAVs (Hermes 450), and other armored vehicles. The company maintains a primary manufacturing facility in Ziporit, Israel, and a sales office in Los Angeles to serve North American customers. Revenue mechanics are quote-based and contract-driven, with no disclosed pricing; the product mix is custom-heavy (tailor-made solutions) combined with select off-the-shelf lines, sold through direct engagement rather than third-party distribution.
