PRESS RELEASE

MAGAL AWARDED $5.5 MILLION IN ORDERS

YAHUD, Israel – Aug 1, 2010 -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ GM: MAGS;)  announced today that it has received during the past few weeks approximately $5.5 million of orders for projects in Israel and worldwide.

The orders from Israel are related to homeland security and have been received from existing customers for new sites and expansions, as well as follow on support.

Two of the orders consisting of $1.2 million in the aggregate are to protect overseas critical infrastructure. One order is for a taut wire solution for the perimeter of a large air-force base in Western Europe. The second order is for a comprehensive solution for a nuclear reactor in North America.
