Ivanko plates made in?
The Ivanko plates I have picked up almost all have an Ivanko China sticker on them. My question is that are they made in China only or are they made in US also? My OM plates came from gyms which have the wear factor which I love for some reason. They have to be about 20 years old or something. Even the revolver plates have a China sticker on them. The fit on all of them is perfect though.

They are made in China, and they are the best plates and they fit great on the bar. I wish all my plates were Ivanko. Ivanko has the best collars too.

Sadly enough these are being manufactured in China. We have found that there are very few manufacturers that cast plates in the USA. Our rubber bumper plates are the only American made plates that we sell.

Not sticking to my original question but thanks for advertising in this site. I would chill on that or you'll get banned.

Basically plates and dumbells they make in China, the bars etc are made in the USA, with some components from China.

I apologize if it came off that way, that was not the intention. I didn't post a link with those plates, just wanted to make a point that it is very hard to find an American company that casts metal plates (or kettlebells).
I've been a member on here for a long time and have quite a few posts in the message boards not related to equipment so my intent is not on spamming the boards. My current job gives me more knowledge of equipment than the average lifter.

Today I sold my Hampton plates. Had 845lbs of them. Now, it's all Ivankos. 12 OM and 4 OMEZH 45lb plates.

Mine came with Made In Taiwan stickers.
They are the basic black economy plates. I should have taken a picture, but just peeled it off...

Could it be just for the Canadian market? Hmmm...
