Lozier
Brings Legacy Experience and Next-Gen Tech to the Checkout Space
By Monica Vanover on April 14, 2025
For nearly seven decades, Lozier has been the backbone of retail spaces across America—quite literally. The company that revolutionized modern retail with its gondola shelving systems is now bringing that same manufacturing prowess to the front of the store, an area that has remained surprisingly unchanged for half a century.
"The front end of the store has been fairly stagnant over the past 50 years," says Mark Jones, Business Development Representative at Lozier. "As AI comes in and asset protection becomes a bigger part of what happens at the front end, you need something that's more adaptable to integrate that technology and reconfigure more quickly."
Lozier's entrance into the checkout space leverages a 69-year legacy of metal manufacturing excellence combined with next-gen technological innovations in conveyor systems and sensor technology. The company’s partnership with CASI, a leader in tailored receiving and distribution solutions, allows Lozier to offer something truly unique: optimized checkouts that integrate seamlessly with industry-leading gondola shelving.
"We've found a way to integrate our gondola shelving into the checkout cabinetry, which isn't really something that's common in this industry," Jones explains. "Typically, retailers have to buy another supplier’s wire or tubular fixture for checkout lanes. With our solution, you can use the same shelving system throughout the store, including at the checkout."
This integration provides a significant advantage for retailers: the ability to solve multiple store fixture needs in ways that are customizable to meet each logistical demand, all with one trusted partner.

Adaptability for the Modern Retail Environment
Lozier is making a splash with their convertible checkout system, a solution that's getting renewed attention from major retailers. This innovative system features a turntable scanner bed that rotates depending on whether the checkout is manned or self-service.
"Manned checkers can process transactions twice as fast as self-checkout," notes Jones. "When store volumes are high, retailers want manned checkouts. When volumes are slower, they can convert to self-checkout. We've optimized the design to be extremely ergonomic, keeping the footprint and reach minimal to maintain speed during transactions."
Lozier offers a wide range of checkout systems to meet any retail need, from the convertible checkouts to classic belted checkouts and no-fuss standalone self-checkouts. All can be customized to integrate gondola shelving or other Lozier or CASi solutions. The modularity of Lozier's checkout systems represents a fundamental shift in how retailers can approach front-end design.
"For all of our products, the modularity is quite different than most in the industry," Jones says. "We have modules that you can mix and match that still integrate within the gondola. When you go through remodels or reconfiguring in the future, you don't have to buy all new checkouts. You can use those existing building blocks."

Built to Last, Here to Stay
In addition to CASI’s manufacturing hub in Texas, the company is now dedicating its entire Joplin, Missouri plant to checkout systems—underscoring its long-term commitment to this space.
“Our checkout solutions are all domestic, centrally located, and built for longevity," Jones says proudly. “With the uncertainty in the economy, knowing your manufacturing needs are met here in the US is a huge differentiator.”
While low-cost wood checkouts are common in the industry, Lozier brings their metal manufacturing expertise to create solutions with significantly longer lifespans.
"These are sturdy, long-lasting metal-constructed checkouts," Jones emphasizes. "Our solutions are reliable and we bring design capabilities, customization, adaptability, and new technology to this space."
For retailers concerned about aesthetics, Lozier offers the best of both worlds. "We have the ability to add wood accents if they want to warm them with a wood-grain type of look, while maintaining the predominant metal construction," Jones notes.
For many retailers, Lozier has been a trusted shelving partner for years. Now, they're ready to extend that relationship to the checkout space.
This expansion represents Lozier's commitment to providing comprehensive retail solutions.
"We know your stores. We know your customers," says Jodi Farber, Lozier’s Vice President of Sales and Customer Relations. "We've already been there for your shelving needs. We'd now like to partner on the checkout space."
Designed for the Future of Retail
As retail continues to evolve with new technologies and changing consumer behaviors, Lozier's checkout solutions are designed to adapt. Their metal construction stands up to the increased wear and tear of self-checkout, while their modular design allows for easy integration of new technologies.
For retailers considering a front-end redesign, Lozier offers more than just products—they provide partnership in the design process, helping stores optimize both functionality and merchandising opportunities.
"It's really more than just checkouts," says Jones. "It's the merchandising and other fixtures that can support the checkouts. We want to be a partner in that design process."
With their new checkout solutions, Lozier is positioned to help retailers transform the final frontier of in-store innovation—the front end—with the same quality, reliability, and forward-thinking design that made their shelving the industry standard.
