ROCHESTER, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 25, 2013) - Omni - ID , the original inventor of the on-metal tag and leading global supplier of high-performance, RFID tags and visual tagging systems today announced that it has received its third order in support of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to provide RFID tags utilized for tracking assets returning from the war efforts in Afghanistan.
"In 2012, the USMC identified challenges with tracking and accounting for large rolling stock and containers with high value assets being shipped back to the US from Afghanistan," said George E. Daddis, Jr., PhD, CEO of Omni-ID. "Our US-based supply chain jumped into action and met this challenge with extreme enthusiasm.

We're very pleased to have just received another order for these products and to be producing them right here in the USA."
