Seems like I've seen talk about Chinese winches and how they are all come from the same places now. Perhaps with Superwinch going under and becoming part of Weston that might be another brand in name only. But Warn seems to still be holding out.
I thought this post by a representative named Andy from Warn over on ExPo would be valuable. Of course their winches are not 100% US-made, motors I think are imported from Bosch in Mexico, electrical part sources are generally Far East only, etc.

Just to clear some things up about our products:
If anyone ever has any questions about our products or services, don't hesitate to reach out to me directly; happy to help!
- All but one of our truck winch models has a final point of assembly of Clackamas, Oregon. They are made with parts from the USA and around the world. Some parts, including our gears, come into our building as raw steel, and leave inside our winches. In addition, nearly all of our mounting systems are made in the USA. We employ 400 workers at our headquarters/factory in Oregon.
- Our VR line is made in China. However, it is designed, engineered, and tested extensively by us, and carries the same limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components and seven year warranty on electrical parts. We also have an in-house staff of customer service folks with an average tenure of 14 years.
- FYI, our powersports winches all leave our factory in Oregon, too.
- Warn Industries was founded in 1948 and has been in business over 70 years.
