Magal helped build Israel's security fence along the Egyptian border in Sinai.
Israeli company Magal Security Systems Ltd.(Nasdaq: MAGS; TASE: MAGS) is one of the firm seeking contracts to help build the US-Mexico border wall. The company, which was part of the construction of Israel's southern border fence with Egypt, is seeing major demand for its shares since Donald Trump was elected US president.
Magal's share price has risen 50% since the US elections and by 5% since President Trump announced that he is going ahead with the wall.
