American-Made Finds
One maker's story, the brands newly listed here, and a few US-made picks, every Thursday.
Crazy Aaron's was founded in 1998 and makes the products listed here in Norristown, PA. The site lists 19 verified American-made Crazy Aaron's products.
A custom putty factory in Norristown
Aaron Muderick started Crazy Aaron's in 1998 and, in the company's words, "built a custom factory to manufacture" his putty in Norristown, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia. The product pages on its site read "Made in the USA from the finest materials around the world." That line appears on the Super Scarab, Liquid Glass, Tidal Wave, Strange Attractor, Hypercolor, glow-in-the-dark and SCENTsory putties, the mini tins, the Crazy Creator Kit and Slime Charmers. The materials clause matters: the putty is made here, and some ingredients come from abroad.
The 2026 sale to Goliath
In January 2026 Goliath, a family-owned games maker headquartered in the Netherlands, acquired Crazy Aaron's. Its announcement says the products are made "on Main Street, USA in Norristown, PA." Crazy Aaron's runs as its own division under Goliath, and Muderick stays on as founder and executive chairman. The announcement does not address future production plans, so read the origin line on new releases.
Newer products without an origin line
Some recent non-putty items, such as the Wonder Falls sensory motion tubes and Pinchies board games, carry no origin statement on Crazy Aaron's site. Thinking Putty, in full-size or mini tins, is the line with a clear US claim.
