What HMS Mfg does

HMS Mfg. Co. LLC, founded in 1987 in Troy, Michigan, is a privately held family business that designs and manufactures plastic home organization products sold through major US mass-market retailers. Its product portfolio spans storage and organization, waste management, laundry accessories, kitchen items, and pet products, organized under the licensed Hefty brand (waste and storage) and the proprietary Home Logic brand (laundry and waste, launched 2001), with patented platforms including HI-RISE, HI-RISE PRO, STORAGE SOLUTIONS, and SHRINK-PAK vacuum compression bags.

The company's core competency is industrial design and plastic manufacturing, evidenced by a portfolio of US design and utility patents (D654,690, D790,337, D833,149, D855,460 S, 9,481,960 B2, among others) updated as recently as October 2025. HMS operates a US-centric production footprint comprising its Troy, MI headquarters, a Youngstown, OH distribution facility, and a state-of-the-art Little Rock, AR manufacturing plant opened in 2020, supplemented by a Hong Kong office (opened 2007) for overseas product development, quality, and manufacturing oversight. The company also runs an in-house Design Center (2016) supporting new product development and uses Post-Industrial Recycled plastic resin to reduce virgin plastic consumption.

HMS generates revenue through wholesale hardware sales to enterprise retailers including Target, Walmart, Lowe's, Kmart, and Amazon. The company has won Vendor/Supplier of the Year awards from Walmart (2018), Target (2020), and Lowe's (2022), and has a historical private-label track record including a Martha Stewart Living assortment at Kmart (2000). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, its own distribution centers, OEM/private-label production, and Amazon marketplace listings; consumer marketing is supported by Instagram and the company website.
