In that regard, M.A.G. was one of the first U.S. companies to open and operate a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in mainland China with a sourcing, quality control, consolidation and distribution facility in Guangzhou to facilitate the export of Chinese-made product and the import of U.S.-manufactured product into the Chinese market.

Among its many divisions are MAG Security™, the world's leading provider of home security hardware; ChildProTech™, the leading U.S.-based supplier of child safety products; MAG Architectural™, a leading supplier of architectural and contract hardware; MAG Marine™, the manufacturer of the patented Dinghy Doc™; and Kleer Drain™, an award-winning, patented instant drain opener.

Utilizing state-of-the-art information systems and supply-chain management strategies, M.A.G. efficiently and effortlessly interacts with its customer-clients through a variety of technological initiatives including Electronic Data Interchange and UCC Net.

Consistent with its pro-active approach toward exploiting emerging technology, M.A.G. also was the first supplier in the nation to become certified on a new Windows-based Vendor Managed Inventory system for its major retail customer-clients. Additionally, M.A.G.'s website provides its customer-clients with industry leading online ordering and tracking capabilities.

Finally, M.A.G. is a certified minority owned business and is listed among the Top 100 Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States by DiversityBusiness.com.
