Checkpoint Systems Company Description
Checkpoint Systems wants to keep shoplifters in check. The company makes electronic article surveillance systems (EAS), radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, electronic security devices, closed-circuit TV (CCTV) systems, and electronic access control systems used by retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Circuit City, Sears, Target, and Walgreen. Checkpoint's EAS units employ paper-thin disposable circuit tags attached to merchandise that are disarmed at check-out; if not disarmed, the tags trigger electronic sensors when the customer tries to leave. The company operates in about 30 countries worldwide; nearly half of its sales come from Europe.
