...customers. Coupling this with a desire to be the best, Mr Maglica decided to design and lauch a premium quality product which had to combine top spec,quality and reliability. So after a peroid of intensive research and development the Maglite Rechargable Flashlight system (originally termed MagCharger) was born -the rest is history.Further releases included thr Mini Maglite AA and AAA torches and the diminutive Solitaire torch powered by a single AAA battery. Finally Maglite were awarded recognition for their acheivements by being placed in a "what America does best" catergory in a leading publication. History lesson over.
