PlaqueWerkz is a southern California based company nestled in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Mark (aka the Plaque Dude) started 20 years ago as an independent low rider car club plaque maker. In the past five years there have been many changes. The company is now officially known as PlaqueWerkz. With his wife, Carla (a.k.a. ggirl and lil"c" ), now a partner in the company, handling the jobs of administration, artwork and website design, and his son, Steven (a.k.a. the Plaque Brat), who is following in his fathers footsteps by making a name for himself at major car shows by seeking out the plaque needs of euro, low rider car and bike clubs.
Today, PlaqueWerkz is known for its very simplistic to complex designs and quick turnaround. They avoid many of the hassles and delays by producing their own design work and pattern making in house, as well as the casting and clean-up as shown in the photo's below. The plaques are plated in 24kt gold and the chrome is done in a triple dip show quality finish. That process means it is done in copper than nickel before it is dipped in chrome.
As everyone knows, there is always room for improvement, and PlaqueWerkz is constantly looking for ways to do just that. This includes developing new designs and different ways of laying out the plaque. That is one of the many keys to their success. Another, is that they focus on achieving long term friendships with all of the clubs and non - club affiliated customers. One other very important factor, is the help of the shops (hydraulic, custom install, audio, detail etc.) that they have come into contact with. Without all of you, PlaqueWerkz would not be the company that they are today.
So on that note, PlaqueWerkz would like to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" by listing all of the clubs and shops for their friendship, great word of mouth, knowledge and support!
