IMI Systems, previously Israel Military Industries, also referred to as Ta'as (Template:Langx), was an Israeli weapons manufacturer. The company manufactured weapons, munitions and military technology mainly for the Israeli security forces (especially Israel's army, the Israel Defense Forces or IDF).
On 25 November 2018, Elbit Systems completed the acquisition of IMI Systems and renamed it to Elbit Systems Land.[1]
Small arms
Israel Weapon Industries' small arms offerings are notable, with numerous well identified product names and de facto 'brands'. Examples are the Uzi submachine gun and the IMI Galil assault rifle, and the Negev light machine gun. In addition, such offerings as the Jericho 941 semi-automatic pistol and Tavor assault rifle are globally recognized and marketed firearms.[2]
In the 1980s, an American firearms designer, Magnum Research, contracted IMI to re-design and manufacture a magnum caliber (.44 Magnum, .357 Magnum and .50 AE), resulting in the production of a semi-automatic pistol marketed as the Desert Eagle.[3]
In 2005, Israel Military Industries sold its Magen division (Small Arms Division) to Israeli privately owned holding company SK Group and renamed Israel Weapon Industries.[4]
