Founded in 1993, Iron Grip Barbell Company quickly rose to prominence through the introduction of a revolutionary new design for weight plates. At the 1993 IHRSA convention, Iron Grip launched the first and only weight plates with integrated handgrips and a unique 12-sided design. This breakthrough became the company's signature product and represents the most significant improvement to the industry's oldest fitness equipment - the iron barbell and weight plate. The Iron Grip weight plate is manufactured exclusively in the USA by one of America's premier iron foundries, making it one of the few in its category to be manufactured domestically.

Iron Grip Olympic weight plates quickly became the first choice for premium facilities across the country and raised the standard for free weight products. Iron Grip Barbell Company grew rapidly by catering to the marketplace with a combination of innovative design and quality construction. With the further groundbreaking introductions of the unique Urethane line, the custom equipment program, and the Group Strength line, Iron Grip has reinforced its identity as a manufacturer at the forefront of equipment design.

With its strong intellectual property base and its many licenses, Iron Grip maintains its commitment to developing innovative new products. Iron grip will continue to cement its identity as the leader in free weight equipment through the development of new products and product lines, and by adding licensees when the opportunity presents itself. This strategy has already resulted in Iron Grip Barbell Company becoming number one overall in both company size and brand recognition in the commercial free weight category.


The following is a reply from Iron Grip to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
