I would like to know too. Their v belts are great. I have them on my truck. Made in usa and my cost is $4ea. The serpentine belts are hit or miss. Might be good or might be junk. The value craft ones are terrible.
Aren't there maybe 4 companies in the US? Maybe Gates, Bando, Continental, and Goodyear.
Guessing Dayco might make them since that used to be the brand the carried.
Dayco?
My choice would be OEM or Continental Elite (formerly Goodyear Gatorback), the polycog belts. The cogged belts are great when nothing else will quiet the noise.

The polycog belts are being phased out. Tried to get one for my notoriously squeaky Ford Taurus. Figured I'd try the "new material" Continental OE Tech belt that they are replacing them with. Only been a couple days, but IT IS QUIET. We'll see how long it stays that way.

I hear you. I liked those belts. The OE Tech belt seems every bit as quiet so far. I did replace the idler and tensioner pulleys and and the old belt still sounded like a zillion crickets. The OE Tech belt is nice and quiet on it. As long as it's quiet, I don't really care what the rib design looks like. Maybe the new material they are touting makes the polycog design obsolete?

Dayco is AZ's current hose/belt supplier, last time I checked.
I called Autozone and they no longer carry any other belts than mentioned with the exception of Continental. Unfortunately I have 3 different brand belts on my car with different numbers. Also the car which is a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 has Vintage Air probably which won't be the same matchup as OEM. My plan was to mark the current belts as to what they then were on and then let Autozone put them on its measuring tool and buy three of the same brand. As a side note I am not the one who put all different brand belts on the car!
