History

Checkpoint Systems was founded in 1969 in the U.S. as a subsidiary of Logistics Industries. In 1977, the company was spun off and began trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol CHECK. It subsequently expanded its operations and began offering electronic surveillance systems to retail stores across Europe.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Checkpoint made several key acquisitions, including METO (a supplier of hand labeling systems) and OATSystems (an RFID software company), which helped expand its product portfolio and improve inventory management solutions.

In 2016, Checkpoint Systems was acquired by CCL Industries and continued to expand its technology solutions, including a collaboration with Microsoft to develop cloud-based RFID solutions.

Product Innovation and Improvement

Checkpoint Systems continues to research and develop RFID technologies to support the retail industry and supply chain applications. The company has also developed reusable RFID products to help reduce waste and optimize resource usage.

Certifications and Quality Assurance

Checkpoint's manufacturing facilities in China and Mexico City have earned international quality certifications such as SMETA and FSC CoC, ensuring that their products meet high standards for quality and sustainability.
