Metalcraft and A2B Tracking Partner to Provide Complete UID Solution
MASON CITY, IA (March 6, 2006) - Metalcraft, a leader in the identification products industry, has partnered with A2B Tracking to provide a complete solution to Department of Defense contractors looking to comply with new government requirements for unique identification of parts.
"Metalcraft and A2B Tracking will offer an excellent package which provides a complete solution for any DoD contractor," said Steve Doerfler, Metalcraft Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "We are pleased to be working with A2B in assisting contractors with UID compliance."
"Metalcraft is a key partner in our UID compliance solution," says A2B President Peter Collins. "We have a great deal of respect for the company, their products and their market position, and we look forward to working together."
The Unique Item Identification mandate requires items that are valued at greater than $5,000 or requires serialization be uniquely identified with a 2D DataMatrix bar code, and subsequently tracked and reported at key events during their lifecycle. Metalcraft specializes in the production of customized nameplates and labels for harsh environments including UID compliant products. A2B Tracking has developed a UID lifecycle management system which simplifies UID compliance by providing an economical approach to submitting UID data easily and accurately to the WAWF and UID Registry web sites. Metalcraft nameplates and labels working with A2B Tracking's UID Comply!(TM) Validator software offers government contractors a comprehensive solution to meet UID identification requirements.
