About Us

SOURCE Vagabond Systems was founded in 1989 by Yoki Gill and Daniel Benoziliyo and now employs more than 100 devoted workers.

All our products are produced in-house in our factory located south of Haifa , Israel . From development, design, welding the reservoirs, sewing the textile covers to designing our catalogs; everything is done within the same single location. This close interaction between development, production and marketing is what makes us what we are, what makes us better.

In 1999 Yoki established the SOURCE R.D.D. Center (Research Development and Design). This center employs product and textile designers, engineers and a graphic designer. The center is equipped with CAD/CAM and graphic design stations and other systems for developing military products. Yoki and most of the members of our R&D team are experienced ex officers of elite IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) units. This enables us to communicate closely with technical military staff and produce tailored solutions for any problem.

SOURCE is an idealistic company. 10% of our profits are shared among all our workers. 5% of our net profits go to social and environmental activities in the nearby community.

We support the weak and disabled. SOURCE employs deaf workers and we also run a rehabilitation program where mentally disabled people from a nearby hospital work shoulder to shoulder with SOURCE employees.

We also believe that by establishing eye-to-eye business relationships with our Palestinian neighbors can make a difference and help to resolve a conflict that lasted so long and so we now work with two subcontractors in the west bank.

In search of the SOURCE we are committed to:

  • Satisfy the genuine needs of soldiers who go out into the field.
  • Bring original, functional, long lasting gear to the market place.
  • Incorporate human values in all aspects of our business.
  • Encourage ourselves to identify with, and share responsibility.
  • Liberate our working environment by excluding all forms of prejudice.
  • Embrace human relations as an extended family within our own company.
  • Advance towards the goal of environmental sustainability.
  • Make curiosity, joy, respect, passion and caring, part of our daily lives.
