Sorinex Exercise Equipment
Founded in 1980 by Richard “Pops” Sorin, Sorinex Exercise Equipment began in a small two-car garage where a school teacher welded steel to build a better weight room. From the outset, the goal was to produce functional strength training equipment that could be customized and, above all, bomb-proof. In 2019, Sorinex celebrated MADE AMERICAN, marking 40 years in business and more than 40 industry-first designs. The company notes its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Lexington, South Carolina, underscoring its American-made roots.
