ALCOA Wenatchee LLC Launches Durable, High-Performance Nameplate Tags for Harsh Environments

Pittsburgh, PA – October 26, 2023 – ALCOA Wenatchee LLC, a leading innovator in aluminum solutions, today announced the release of its new line of high-performance nameplate tags. Designed for lasting identification in even the toughest conditions, these tags are built to withstand corrosion, abrasion, extreme temperatures, and UV exposure – making them ideal for a wide range of industrial, outdoor, and specialized applications. ALCOA Wenatchee LLC, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality aluminum products tailored to meet the specific needs of its customers. With decades of experience in material science and manufacturing, the company consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with aluminum. The release of these new nameplate tags represents another step forward in their commitment to providing durable and reliable solutions. “We saw a real need in the market for identification tags that actually hold up,” says a spokesperson for ALCOA Wenatchee LLC. “Too many tags fade, peel, or just fall apart when exposed to real-world conditions. We decided to leverage our expertise in aluminum alloys to create a product that’s built to last, giving our customers peace of mind.” What Makes These Nameplate Tags Different? These aren’t your average name tags. ALCOA Wenatchee LLC utilizes a proprietary aluminum alloy specifically chosen for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear. But it’s not just the material. The entire manufacturing process is carefully controlled to ensure consistent quality and performance. Here’s a breakdown of what sets these tags apart: Superior Aluminum Alloy: The foundation of these tags is a carefully selected aluminum alloy that's naturally resistant to corrosion from salt spray, chemicals, and even harsh weather. This means the information on the tag will remain legible for years to come, even in demanding environments. Durable Printing Technology: Forget about faded lettering and peeling ink. ALCOA Wenatchee LLC uses advanced laser etching and printing techniques to create crisp, clear, and permanent markings on each tag. The markings are embedded into the aluminum, not just applied to the surface. Protective Anodization: For an extra layer of protection, the tags are anodized. This process creates a hardened oxide layer on the aluminum surface, further enhancing its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and UV degradation. Versatile Mounting Options: These tags aren’t just tough, they’re also easy to install. They can be supplied with various mounting options, including adhesive backing, rivets, or pre-drilled holes, to suit a wide range of applications. Customization Available: ALCOA Wenatchee LLC understands that every application is different. That’s why they offer a full range of customization options, including size, shape, text, logos, and barcodes. Who Can Benefit from These Tags? The applications for these durable nameplate tags are virtually limitless. Here are just a few examples: Outdoor Equipment: Identify components on construction equipment, agricultural machinery, marine vessels, and other outdoor gear. The tags can withstand constant exposure to the elements without fading or corroding. Industrial Manufacturing: Clearly label machinery, equipment, and components in factories, plants, and workshops. This helps with maintenance, safety, and inventory control. Oil & Gas Industry: Identify pipelines, valves, and other critical infrastructure in harsh offshore and onshore environments. The tags’ resistance to corrosion and chemicals is essential in this industry. Transportation: Label railway cars, trucks, trailers, and other vehicles with essential information, such as serial numbers, inspection dates, and load limits. Electrical & Utilities: Identify electrical panels, circuit breakers, and other components in power plants, substations, and distribution networks. Asset Tracking: Use the tags to track valuable assets throughout their lifecycle, providing a permanent and reliable identification method. Government & Military: Identify equipment and assets used in defense, law enforcement, and other government applications. Beyond Durability: Commitment to Sustainability ALCOA Wenatchee LLC is also committed to sustainable manufacturing practices. Aluminum is a highly recyclable material, and the company actively promotes the responsible use and recycling of aluminum products. “We believe in creating products that are not only durable and reliable but also environmentally responsible,” explains the spokesperson. “Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality, making it a truly sustainable material.” Availability & Ordering The new line of durable nameplate tags from ALCOA Wenatchee LLC is available for immediate order.
