The event delivered a full day of hands-on experiences: a guided facility tour, a live container assembly, catered lunch, Q&A sessions with the Stellar team, and one-on-one product walk-throughs. Attendees had the opportunity to see the engineering up close and ask questions directly to the teams who designed and built the new container.

The energy of the day was upbeat, collaborative, and filled with genuine curiosity from operators eager to see how American-made manufacturing can reshape consistency and supply-chain confidence in the storage industry.

Built Stronger. Built Here. — What Customers Loved Most

Throughout the event, guests shared candid feedback about the new Stars & Stripes container, with several attendees highlighting their favorite features.

Mark DePasquale, CEO of the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA), summarized the significance of the launch perfectly:

I was honored to visit Stellar Storage Containers’ new manufacturing facility in Lancaster, South Carolina. Their American-made containers, constructed from 100% U.S. steel, are a game-changer for the portable storage industry. Stellar has been a valued NPSA member since 2008, and I’m excited our members can now rely on them for a top-quality, American-made container.

This quote reflects the industry’s growing excitement about dependable, domestic manufacturing — and why Stars & Stripes is already gaining momentum nationwide.

Brian T, who has decades of experience working with storage units in Florida, was immediately drawn to the material upgrades:

I love the roll-up door with the door sweep, and I love the galvanized base. And the translucent roof — that is my favorite. — Brian T

A seasoned operator managing over 100 Stellar containers in the salt-heavy, wintery Northeast highlighted how meaningful the enhanced corrosion resistance is for their environment:

I like the front plate a lot. That will be more corrosion resistant. We use salt in the Northeast, and with the sand and salt, those lips go quicker than I want them to.
— Tena D

She added that seeing the container in person made a significant impact:

I’m glad we came. I’m the type who needs to see things. Now I don’t have to go home wondering, ‘Do you think we would like it?’ Now I’ve done it all.

This hands-on, tactile experience is exactly why Stellar created Demo Day — to give operators the confidence that what they’re investing in is durable, thoughtfully engineered, and ready for real-world conditions.
