Thruvision Group plc
Thruvision partners with Sensormatic Solutions to provide next generation
of walk-through people security screening technology
to leading retailers around the world
Thruvision (AIM: THRU, "Thruvision" or the "Group"), the leading international provider of walk-through security technology, has announced its partnership with Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions company owned by Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE: JCI).
Sensormatic will offer Thruvision's WalkTHRU security technology to its existing loss prevention solutions portfolio, making it available to the many leading retailers around the world it counts as customers.
Craig Szklany, Vice President of Loss Prevention and Inventory Intelligence, Sensormatic Solutions, commented:
"Helping retailers overcome their most pressing obstacles is the driving force behind all of our decisions - both when it comes to new solutions and strategic partnerships. We were impressed with Thruvision's innovation and creative approach to addressing a tricky problem, and appreciated their focus on safety and respect in the people screening process.
"I am confident that this partnership will allow us to help retailers protect their distribution centers, headquarters and more, with as much precision as they do their sales floors, while improving customer and employee experiences."
Colin Evans, Chief Executive of Thruvision, commented:
"The discussion about retail theft often focuses on shoplifting, but internal theft is a growing problem. According to research we conducted with Retail Economics (published in November 2023), 40% of the total value of theft is attributable to employees.
"Sensormatic Solutions' extensive retail expertise, global footprint and proven record of delivering cutting-edge loss prevention solutions made it a natural fit for helping us reach more retailers in need of our technology. We look forward to working alongside Sensormatic to help retailers address this fast growing driver of shrink."
