Most storage organizers on the market today are made overseas, shipped across an ocean, and sold by brands with no connection to the communities they serve. CrateMate is different. Every unit is injection-molded at a family-owned factory — a facility that has been producing American-made products since 1891. When you buy CrateMate, you're not just buying a storage system. You're buying into 135 years of American manufacturing tradition.

What Is CrateMate?
CrateMate is a modular storage organizer system designed around the standard milk-crate footprint — the most universally useful storage container ever designed. Available in two sizes:
- CrateMate™ 24QT Heavy-Duty Stackable Storage Crate — Made in USA — the full-size workhorse for vehicle cargo, garage shelving, and contractor use
- CrateMate™ 16QT Heavy-Duty Milk Crate — Made in USA — the compact option for tighter spaces, RV storage, and lighter loads
CrateMate transforms loose milk crates into a structured, stackable, interlocking organization system for vehicle cargo areas, garage shelving, RV and camper storage, and mobile lifestyle organization for contractors, tradespeople, and outdoor enthusiasts. The system is modular by design — start with one crate, add more as your needs grow. Every unit is dimensionally consistent because they're all made in the same factory, on the same tooling, to the same tolerances.
Why American-Made Matters for a Storage Product
- Dimensional consistency. The modular stacking system only works if every unit is made to the same tolerances. Injection molding precision ensures every CrateMate unit fits every other CrateMate unit, every time.
- Material quality. American-sourced thermoplastic resins that meet domestic quality standards. Generic imported organizers often use recycled or lower-grade resins that become brittle under UV exposure and temperature cycling.
- Accountability. Quality issues get resolved in days — not months.

America250: 135 Years of Manufacturing, 250 Years of American Industry
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, and family-owned business that has been part of the American economy since 1891 — still standing, still producing, still employing Americans in a Connecticut factory that predates most of the brands you know by name.
CrateMate is part of that story. Every unit sold is a vote for American manufacturing, American jobs, and the kind of long-term industrial commitment that built this country over 250 years.
Designed and manufactured in the USA. Built to last.
