Magtech Security Systems

What Magtech Security Systems does

Magtech Security Systems Private Limited is an Indian original equipment manufacturer of physical-security and entrance-automation hardware, headquartered in Korattur, Chennai, with a manufacturing unit in Chennai and a regional branch in Noida. Founded around 2012, the company employs 51-100 people and operates under the Magtech Group brand, with sub-brands including Chasescan (UVSS), Roboscan (portable UVSS), Hyblock (road blocker), and ANPR boom barriers. The catalog spans four families: security screening (X-ray baggage scanners, door-frame and handheld metal detectors, body scanners, cargo and vehicle scanners, explosive-vapour detectors); entrance automation (flap, swing, tripod, full-height, high-speed, hi-tech barriers); advanced road safety (boom barriers, bollards, tyre killers, road blockers, fencing barriers, crash-rated perimeter products); and surveillance (CCTV with AI tracking). The technology stack combines pulse-induction metal detection, color-coded X-ray imaging, dual-camera UVSS with AI-based threat detection, OCR-based ANPR, and crash-rated perimeter barriers validated by HORIBA MIRA to K4/K8/K12 zero-penetration standards. The company holds ISO 9001/13485/27001, NABL, AERB, CE, RoHS, FDA, and NSIC certifications, positioning it for Indian defense, atomic-energy, aviation, and public-sector procurement.

The business model is project-based B2B hardware sales plus installation and after-sales services, with quote-based, non-public pricing that varies by configuration, sensitivity level, and volume. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government, defense, airports, railways, atomic-energy facilities, large corporates, hotels, education, and industrial manufacturing, supported by WhatsApp-driven lead capture and a website with blog, YouTube demos, and testimonial-led credibility. Anchor customers named include Indian Coast Guard, Indian Air Force, Airports Authority of India, Indian Railways, DAE-BRIT, BHEL, NPCI, Wipro, Tata, Flextronics, Taj Hotels, Radisson Blu, and IIM Bangalore. Revenue is undisclosed and the company is bootstrapped (no funding rounds recorded). Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward HORIBA MIRA validated crash-rated perimeter products, AI-labeled screening variants, and trace / mobile detection extensions, indicating an effort to move up-market from generic access-control OEM into higher-margin, certified defense and critical-infrastructure security.
