Verification Notes
TheraBand has manufactured resistance bands and exercise equipment in Akron, Ohio since 1976 under Performance Health. Website confirms Made in USA on resistance bands, loops, and CLX products. Amazon listings confirm USA manufacturing. The original resistance band brand, clinically tested and used by physical therapists worldwide. claim-partial (severe): TheraBand's own pages never say 'Made in USA' - only 'Designed and engineered in the USA' (about, CLX page) and 'Self-manufactured' (latex bands page). Owner Performance Health: 'our manufacturing team across the globe is proud to make ... Theraband' (jobs.performancehealth.com/manufacturing; facilities named North Canton, Akron, Cedarburg). Manufacturing Today profile of Hygenic (TheraBand's maker): 'Hygenic owns two primary manufacturing sites - one in Akron, Ohio, and one in Malaysia. The Malaysia facility is focused on the processing of liquid latex, while the Akron, Ohio facility focuses on dry rubber and synthetic elastomeric raw materials' (https://manufacturing-today.com/news/hygenic-corp/); Hygenic's ISO 13485 post names Akron, OH and Ipoh, Malaysia. ProductFrom.com records Malaysia as country of origin for TheraBand 6-yd latex roll (part 20060), 50-yd latex rolls, and the 12-inch band loop set (part 14729) (https://www.productfrom.com/products/MY/Theraband/0/1) - third-party, so not used as sole removal proof. Amazon listings for all 5 show no origin. Our 'Website confirms Made in USA' and 'Amazon listings confirm USA manufacturing' notes are false. Latex bands/loops/CLX most likely Malaysian; non-latex (synthetic) roll plausibly Akron but unstated. https://www.theraband.com/about-us "Designed and engineered in the USA, our product range includes latex and non-latex bands, tubing, band loops, CLX consecutive loops, high resistance bands, and more."

We read the live store listing for 5 of the 5 TheraBand products on this page (most recently Oct 18, 2026). None of them states where the product is made, so these products rely on the brand-level evidence above.
Ongoing monitoring
We scan news for factory closures, offshoring and ownership changes. Last scan Sep 23, 2026: no change found.
These checks are run by our software on a schedule: brand websites are re-read about every three weeks, store listings weekly, and news is scanned monthly. Every flag is checked against its original source before anything on this page changes. How the American Score works.

American-Made Finds
One maker's story, the brands newly listed here, and a few US-made picks, every Thursday.
TheraBand was founded in 1976 and makes the products listed here in Akron, Ohio. The site lists 5 verified American-made TheraBand products.
Designed in the USA is not made in the USA
TheraBand's about page says its range of latex and non-latex bands, tubing, band loops and CLX loops is designed and engineered in the USA. None of its pages we read says the bands are made in the USA. The product listings we read give no country of origin.
The bands are made by Hygenic, the company behind TheraBand, now part of Performance Health. A trade profile of Hygenic says it runs two main plants: one in Akron, Ohio, which works with dry rubber and synthetic materials, and one in Malaysia, which processes liquid latex. Hygenic's ISO certification names Akron and Ipoh, Malaysia. A third-party origin database lists Malaysia for TheraBand latex rolls and the band loop set.
What this means for the bands you buy
The latex bands in 6, 25 and 50-yard rolls, the loop sets and the CLX bands are most likely made in Malaysia, where Hygenic processes latex. The non-latex bands use synthetic material, which fits the Akron plant's work, but TheraBand does not say where they are made.
TheraBand says the bands were created over 40 years ago by two clinicians to help patients recover. If US manufacture matters to you, ask the company about the specific item before buying.
