Universal Surveillance Systems (USS® Corporation) has been committed to providing innovative solutions to the Loss Prevention (LP) community since 1995. Combining state of the art technology with unsurpassed customer service, USS® Corporation has become the fastest growing company in the LP industry and employs a talented sales team with over 350 years of combined LP and Retail Operations experience. Their philosophy of creating innovative retail security solutions that meet the needs of their customers has established the company as the go-to partner in the retail LP landscape. With over 50 patents and patent pending technology solutions, USS® Corporation has led the way by designing some of the most unique and creative EAS products that have delivered proven results for retailers by reducing shrink, increasing profitability and providing labor savings. As a result of this unwavering commitment to providing their customers with protection solutions of the highest quality, Adel Sayegh, President & CEO of USS® Corporation, is pleased to announce the expansion of their solution services by launching a new division founded by LP executives for the LP community – LP4LP™. With the addition of LP4LP™™, USS® Corporation will advance its impact over the retail landscape and provide even more to the ever-changing needs of the entire LP industry.

LP4LP™ follows in the footsteps of USS® Corporation by offering a variety of LP solution services to retailers. LP4LP™ will focus on day-to-day LP functions that retailers can take advantage of to enhance their current LP initiatives. From operational audits to investigations and risk management assessments, LP4LP™ will enhance any retailer’s program through creative and cost effective methods.

To begin this ambitious venture, LP4LP™ has enlisted the talents of some of the most respected veterans from the retail LP community. John Gantenbein, former Vice President of Loss Prevention from Macys West, has joined LP4LP™ as its Business Development Advisor. “USS® Corporation is well established in the industry and has a reputation of being an exemplary solution provider and a strong partner to its retail customers. It is this level of commitment and partnership that drew me to this new endeavor,” explains Mr. Gantenbein. “LP4LP™ will offer retailers something unique – it will be an extension of their LP programs and initiatives offering a secure alternative to meet their objectives, by supporting their vision and corporate strategies.” Tapping into the 30 plus years of loss prevention experience and knowledge that Mr. Gantenbein brings, LP4LP™ will enlist his resources and talent to establish a strong foundation and defined set of core values.

Rod Holm, former Vice President of Loss Prevention at Limited Brands also brings with him a wealth of knowledge. With over 30 years of comprehensive LP experience, Mr. Holm joins the LP4LP™ team as Vice President. “LP4LP™ is exactly what it says: Loss Prevention assisting Loss Prevention. In this time where many retailers have had to shut their doors or downsize their current structure, Loss Prevention departments, like the rest, are doing more with a lot less,” says Mr. Holm. “LP4LP™ will offer a cost effective but efficient way to ensure that a retailer’s bottom line profits are not severely impacted by providing a host of comprehensive LP services. By leveraging our team of LP professionals, retailers can utilize our services without having to invest in increasing their payroll but still get the same results.”

“I am thrilled to have the likes of Rod Holm and John Gantenbein on the LP4LP™ team. Their expertise and LP know-how will ensure the success of this new division and it is our customers who will reap of the benefits of their wisdom and talent,” affirms Adel Sayegh. “Our dedication and pledge to support our customers has never been stronger. LP4LP™ is just another vehicle we have to offer solutions and assistance to our retail LP partners.”
