American Data Plates, Inc. is dedicated to manufacturing identification plates, data plates, nameplates, UID/IUID tags, panels, overlays, placards, and labels of exceptional quality that consistently exceed customer expectations in durability, precision, traceability, and regulatory compliance.

Core Focus Our primary mission is to serve the United States Military and Defense community by providing high-performance, MIL-STD-130 compliant marking solutions tailored to the rigorous requirements of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) programs, prime contractors, and suppliers. We produce permanent, legible, and tamper-resistant identification and asset tracking products for mission-critical military property—including weapons systems, vehicles, aircraft, ground support equipment, and components—enabling full lifecycle traceability, automatic data capture through Unique Item Identification (UID) in 2D Data Matrix format, and reliable asset management from acquisition through sustainment, repair, and disposition.

UID Verification Expertise A defining strength of our defense-focused capability is our in-house UID/IUID verification program. We perform comprehensive, ISO/IEC 15415 and MIL-STD-130 compliant verification and validation of every Data Matrix barcode produced, supporting more than 32 symbologies. This process confirms minimum Grade B (or higher) print quality, accurate syntax, proper data formatting, and long-term machine readability—eliminating the risk of non-compliance, DCMA rejection, or audit findings and ensuring every marked item meets the exacting standards required for DoD acceptance and lifecycle tracking.

Quality Commitment Our AS9100D certification (Certificate Number: 1120085) and ISO 9001:2015 registration, together with specialized expertise in MIL-STD-130, MIL-DTL-15024, and related DoD standards, reflect our unwavering commitment to the highest levels of safety, reliability, risk management, counterfeit parts prevention, and zero-defect performance demanded by the U.S. Military, aerospace, and defense sectors.

Ethics & Integrity We conduct business with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We uphold transparency, accountability, and fairness in all dealings with customers, suppliers, employees, and regulatory authorities. We strictly adhere to all applicable laws, export controls (ITAR/EAR), anti-corruption policies, and ethical sourcing practices. We maintain a culture of honesty, respect, and responsibility, ensuring that our products and processes never compromise national security, environmental stewardship, or the safety of those who rely on them. We actively prevent counterfeit materials, protect sensitive information, and foster an environment where ethical decision-making is the foundation of every action.

Operating Principles Guided by the tagline “Strategic Precision”, we maintain a rigorous, end-to-end quality management system reinforced by a zero-tolerance rejection policy. We utilize advanced manufacturing processes—including photosensitive anodized aluminum (Metalphoto®), laser engraving, screen and digital printing, and comprehensive UID verification—to produce identification solutions that routinely achieve 20–50+ year service life in the most extreme operational environments.

Strategic Location & Broader Impact Headquartered in Palmdale, California—the heart of America’s aerospace, defense testing, and military innovation ecosystem—we combine technical excellence, skilled craftsmanship, ethical leadership, and a relentless customer-first philosophy to deliver superior products that meet the most stringent DoD requirements.

While our core mission centers on supporting the United States Military and Defense sector, we proudly extend our capabilities to trusted partners in Aerospace, Space, Automotive, Heavy Machinery, Marine, Energy, Transportation, and additional high-reliability industries.
