List of Olympic Weightlifting Championships Made in the USA

2025 Updates: Added Weight It Out steel plates, F and F Steel shift plates, Micro Gainz steel shift plates, Rogue USA Olympic Plates, Ivanko urethane plates, USA-Iron plates, Le Master deep dish plates. Removed Kabuki plates (Kabuki stopped selling almost everything). Fixed some links.

These plates all meet the FTC’s requirements for the term “made in USA”, where all key components come from the US and all key processing to be done in the US.

Credit to readers John Del Duca and Fred A for explaining much of this list!

Crumb Bumper Plates

Crumb bumpers are made from rubber “crumbs” made by recycling old tires. If an item is recycled and processed in the USA, the new product is considered made in the USA, regardless of the country of origin of the original product.

Crumb bumpers are much denser than virgin rubber bumpers, making them much larger.
