I was recently doing some research on winches. From my research warn winches are manufactured in China? The hubs are made in Oregon Really? I thought for sure Warn was 100% American made what happened?
They do, but not a lot of Mass Market Stuff. We manufacture electronics, our board are built in the states, but all the chipsets and components come from overseasMan, it's hard to tell these days with so many companies using the whole "Made in the USA from globally sourced parts" thing.
It wouldn't surprise me if the electronics for Warn winches were made in China. I'm not even sure the US manufactures electronics at all... Well, not that I know of at least.

Our products are very specialized as well. Not necessarily design and build, but very narrow market reach. That is where you find most of the made in USA stuff. The product is driven by features not price (to an extent). Any consumer thing, unless its a luxury item, is driven by price, so it will generally be made overseas.Makes sense. I was thinking that too, that most of the chipsets and components come from overseas. It’s pretty much impossible to get anything that is 100% made in the USA.
Leupold binoculars ..... Korea, China, and Japan.
Contacted them and asked.
Source?There was a comparison of Warn and SuperWinch . . . . with both being cut open and looked at.
The SuperWinch was built better than the Warn.
. . . From Warn:
Let's clarify a few things:
The WARN VR is made in China. It comes out of a factory that is only making our winches built to our specs, our design, our engineering. They are designed, engineered, and tested in our facility in Oregon.
All of the other truck winches are leaving our factory in Clackamas, OR. Some parts of them are globally sourced. Some of them come out of our factory. . . .
