01 Industries
Retail display programs, tuned to the industry.
Retail merchandising displays don't behave the same way in every aisle. A consumer electronics fixture doesn't behave like a beauty merchandiser, and neither one behaves like a cannabis display. Retailers, planograms, shopper behavior, materials, and compliance requirements all shift by industry. arX builds retail displays for brands across consumer electronics, home improvement, beauty and personal care, grocery and CPG, and specialty retail — each one engineered to the way that category actually sells.
02 Why industry context matters
Same engineering rigor, different rules.
We bring the same design and engineering discipline to every program. But the rules differ by industry — sometimes dramatically. Consumer electronics lives with live demo and security; home improvement with heavy SKUs and big-box specs; beauty with premium materials and shopper touch; grocery/CPG with planogram discipline and tight cost; specialty retail with category-specific compliance.
Knowing the category lets us start the project further down the field.

The fundamentals don't change.
Regardless of category, every program we run shares the same operating model:
- Design grounded in the shopper question — what is this fixture trying to answer at the decision point?
- Engineering for the actual environment — retailer spec, load, lifecycle, install conditions
- Production with one accountable team — designer, engineer, production lead and fulfillment coordinator at the same table, with a vetted fabrication network behind them
- Fulfillment that lands quietly in the store — packed for the install, not for the warehouse
The materials change. The retailers change. The methodology doesn’t.
How to pick a partner by industry.
If you’re evaluating display partners, the industry-specific questions to ask:
- Have you built programs at the scale this retailer requires?
- What’s your experience with this retailer’s spec sheet and approval process?
- How do you handle the materials and finishes my category expects?
- What’s your track record on lifecycle in this category — does your work hold up?
- Who’s available when something on a store floor goes sideways?
We’re happy to answer all of these for our categories. We’ll also be honest when we’re not the right shop for a particular ask.
07 Industry FAQs
Industry FAQs. Direct answers.
All FAQs01. Does arX work only with specific industries?
No. We build retail display programs across consumer electronics, home improvement, beauty and personal care, grocery and CPG, and specialty retail. If your category isn’t listed, we may still be the right shop — ask.
02. How does arX handle category-specific compliance (e.g., cannabis, liquor)?
Compliance gets engineered in from the start, not bolted on. We work to the actual retailer or jurisdiction spec sheet — load ratings, child-resistance, age-verification, secure merchandising — and validate against it before production.
03. Can you build programs for multiple retailers in the same industry?
Yes. Most national programs cross multiple retailers with different footprints, spec sheets, and approval processes. We design fixture systems with shared core components and per-retailer variants so the brand reads consistently across all formats.
04. Do you have experience with [specific retailer]?
Almost certainly. Tell us the retailer and the category — we’ll come back with a candid read on our experience, the spec-sheet gotchas, and how to get your program through approval cleanly.
