Spud Inc has built strong-training straps, belts, wraps and sled harnesses in Columbia, South Carolina since Marc “Spud” Bartley founded the company in 2002, and its gear is a fixture of powerlifting and strongman gyms.

Both the About Us page and the homepage state plainly that Spud Inc products are manufactured at its own Columbia, SC facility — an unqualified, facility-named claim rather than a bare country badge. Unlike some strength-equipment peers, Spud Inc does not appear to resell third-party or imported gear alongside its own line, so the mark is not hedged by a “which SKUs” caveat here. Re-check at the next verification.
