USS, a global leader in product protection, security services and solutions, and Nedap, a global leader in loss prevention and stock management technology for the retail sector, have announced a strategic North American partnership. Together, the two companies will offer the most complete spectrum of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) products, including radio frequency (RF) systems and RFID applications.

“Currently, the North American retail market lacks EAS variety and many customers are faced with one-size-fits-all options when it comes to EAS systems, especially in the RF segment,” said Doug McHose, President of USS. “Nedap’s quality hardware, advanced analytics suite and exceptional design – in combination with USS’ innovative technologies and RFID expertise – will provide customers with a complete EAS solution that is more tailored and customized to each customers’ unique needs.”

“For a quarter of a century, Nedap has pioneered the best EAS systems in the world. At the same time, USS has earned a reputation as a leader in RFID and technology innovation and quality solutions for retailers,” said Patrick O’Leary, vice president and general manager of the Americas for Nedap Retail. “This partnership will provide retailers access to more sophisticated technology solutions, enhanced customer service and additional options within the market.”
