Our assessment
Company details
Where STORi products are made
“We currently manufacture over 95% of our products in our factory in Libertyville, Illinois.” A named town, a named ownership relationship and a stated proportion is a great deal more than most housewares brands publish, and it is the reason this profile exists at all.
Every one of the 24 URLs in shopstori.com’s sitemap is a category or landing page that routes the buyer to Amazon. There are no product detail pages on which an origin line could appear. The claim therefore rests entirely on the parent’s statement, which is where this profile leaves it.
A company that manufactures over 95% of its products in Libertyville is also telling you that some products are made elsewhere, and it does not say which. Without product pages, a buyer has no way to tell whether a particular STORi item is in the 95% or outside it.
The Federal Trade Commission reserves an unqualified Made in USA claim for goods that are all or virtually all of domestic origin, assessed product by product. The US Acrylic statement behind STORi is a company-level claim with a stated exception, and no STORi product page exists on which an individual claim could be checked. This page therefore carries the American Manufacturing label, and the scope fact above records the claim exactly as the parent makes it — at the company level, not the product level.
The story
STORi is the home-organisation brand of US Acrylic, LLC, a Libertyville, Illinois plastics manufacturer founded in 1978. The brand covers the clear acrylic end of the catalogue: drawer organisers, stackable bins, cosmetic trays and pantry systems.
US Acrylic is a manufacturer rather than a marketer, and it says so with a number — over 95% of its products come out of its own Libertyville factory. Very few housewares companies will commit to a figure like that in writing.
STORi itself is run as a marketplace brand. Its website functions as a catalogue that routes buyers to Amazon rather than selling directly, which is why there are no product pages behind it.
Why they matter
Clear plastic organisers are a category almost entirely served by imports, and one where the actual manufacturer is usually invisible. STORi has a named American factory behind it and a parent willing to publish a proportion.
The gap between what the parent claims and what STORi documents is the honest story here. A company-level 95% is meaningful; it is not the same as being able to look at a drawer organiser and know where it was moulded.
The fix is cheap and would strengthen the brand considerably: put the Libertyville claim on STORi’s own pages, and mark the items that fall outside it. Right now the best evidence for a STORi buyer sits on a different company’s website.

STORi questions
Is STORi made in the USA?
STORi is a brand of US Acrylic, LLC, which states on its own website that it manufactures over 95% of its products in its factory in Libertyville, Illinois. That is a company-level claim. STORi does not publish product pages, so no individual STORi item carries its own origin marking.
Who makes STORi products?
US Acrylic, LLC of Libertyville, Illinois. STORi is one of its brands rather than a separate company, and the manufacturing happens at the parent’s own factory.
Why does this profile say American Manufacturing rather than Made in USA?
Because the claim is made at the company level with a stated exception of just under 5%, and because there is no product-level evidence to check a specific item against. An unqualified Made in USA claim is assessed product by product, and STORi does not publish the pages that would allow it.
When was STORi founded?
US Acrylic, LLC was founded in 1978, and that year is published on the parent’s own site. STORi does not publish a separate launch year for the brand.
