U.S. Acrylic

What U.S. Acrylic does

U.S. Acrylic, LLC is a privately held US manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered at 1320 Harris Road, Libertyville, Illinois. The company designs, molds, and assembles BPA-free acrylic and wheat straw houseware products — primarily drinkware (Classic, Optix, Cafe, Faceted, Palmetto, Newport, Splash, Spectrum tumblers), dinnerware (plates, bowls, Fresco collection), serveware (Avant trays, Vista bowls), and barware (stemware) — plus a home-organization and cosmetics sub-brand marketed through shopstori.com. All products are manufactured in its single Libertyville factory, where over 95% of production occurs using raw materials sourced predominantly from local and US-based suppliers.

The company's core technology is plastic part manufacturing: injection or compression molding of acrylic sheet and wheat-straw fiber composites into consumer-grade drinkware and tableware, with proprietary mold designs supporting differentiated collections such as the faceted Optix line. The firm has accumulated over 40 years of process know-how in plastics manufacturing, supports a BPA-free material standard across its full catalog, and operates a Made-in-USA positioning that is core to its brand identity. Manufacturing capacity is concentrated in one US facility, with no disclosed patents, software platforms, or AI-driven systems.

U.S. Acrylic generates revenue through wholesale of finished houseware goods to major US retailers — Walmart, Target, Kroger, Crate and Barrel, The Container Store, Nordstrom, and Williams Sonoma — and increasingly through direct-to-consumer sales on Amazon.com (amazon.com/usacrylic) and the shopstori.com storefront. The company explicitly does not accept wholesale orders from smaller buyers, concentrating its distribution among large retail partners. Customer segmentation is horizontal: American households purchasing colorful, durable, shatter-resistant drinkware and tableware for everyday and entertaining use, with a secondary segment of consumers seeking clear home-organization products. Pricing is retail-channel-driven rather than publicly disclosed, and the company operates with a small employee base of 11-50, consistent with a contract-manufacturer-plus-brand model rather than a large consumer-products corporation.

Direct peers

• Cambro Manufacturing: Manufacturer of plastic food service products including tumblers, plates, bowls, and serveware for restaurants and retail. Closely comparable product portfolio and similar material set (polycarbonate, acrylic substitutes), though skewed more toward foodservice than household.
• Carlisle Foodservice Products: Produces plastic tableware, drinkware, and serving items sold through broadline distributors and retail. Comparable in product mix (plastic cups, plates, bowls, trays) and in serving the household and foodservice crossover customer.
• Tervis: Iconic US plastic tumbler and drinkware brand with insulated double-walled products sold through retail and DTC. Directly comparable to US Acrylic's core clear and colorful tumbler lines and serves the same family/entertaining use cases.
• Zak Designs: Designs and manufactures plastic (melamine and acrylic) drinkware, dinnerware, and lunch products sold through mass-market retailers. Highly comparable to US Acrylic's product breadth, retail channel strategy, and family-focused positioning.
• TarHong: Maker of melamine and plastic dinnerware, serveware, and drinkware with strong retail and DTC presence. Overlaps directly with US Acrylic's plates, bowls, trays, and tumbler lines and competes for similar household and entertaining shelf space.

Broad incumbents

• Rubbermaid (Newell Brands): Mass-market plastic housewares and storage brand owned by Newell Brands. Overlaps with US Acrylic on home organization (Shopstori) and on broad plastic consumer goods, but operates at a much larger scale across many categories rather than specializing in drinkware/tableware.
• Sterilite: Large US plastic housewares and storage products manufacturer sold through major mass retailers including Walmart and Target. Adjacent incumbent competing for similar shelf space in plastic consumer goods, though concentrated in storage rather than drinkware.
• Anchor Hocking: Established US housewares brand producing glass and tableware products sold at major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Kroger. Comparable retail customer base and household entertaining category, though primarily glass rather than plastic/acrylic.
