The company's CEO, Dror Sharon, said, "Magal has won new project business in Africa during 2020 despite the ongoing challenges presented by COVID. We are proud of our team and partners, who successfully collaborated in winning this competitive bidding process. The project is an opportunity to showcase our professionalism and demonstrate the capability and performance of our proprietary technology.
