As someone who works directly with OEM factories producing training apparel, performance tops, and compression gear, I often get asked:
“Where is Under Armour made today?”
This guide explains UA’s current manufacturing countries, what each region specializes in, and how the brand keeps quality consistent worldwide — written in a simple, beginner-friendly way with real industry insight.
Under Armour is currently made in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, Jordan, Cambodia, the Philippines, and a few smaller sourcing regions.
UA chooses factories based on technical fabric capability, cost balance, production speed, and long-term reliability — not just low labor cost.

Based on OEM factory benchmarks and updated sourcing trends:
OEM Insight:
Vietnam and China remain UA’s strongest partners for advanced performance gear due to their knitting, lamination, and compression-tech expertise.
| Country | Strengths | Typical UA Products |
|---|---|---|

| Indonesia | Footwear midsole molding | UA running shoes |
| Jordan | Large uniform factories | Team jerseys |

| Philippines | Skilled technical operators | Performance tops |
Takeaway:
UA matches product type with factory capability, which is why fit and quality remain consistent.
Reduces risk from delays and geopolitical issues.
Seamless knitting, heat-transfer bonding, compression shaping.
UA competes in the mid-premium market, so production must be efficient without sacrificing performance.
Multi-region sourcing shortens development and delivery time.
From my first-hand OEM experience:
OEM Insight:
Compression gear’s “tight feel” is intentional and engineered — not a sizing mistake.
Q1: Is all Under Armour still made in Asia?
Mostly yes, but footwear and uniforms use a wider geographic mix.
Q2: Does UA make anything in the USA?
Very limited — mostly innovation/testing, not mass production.
Q3: Does manufacturing country affect UA quality?
Not significantly. UA’s QC system keeps specs consistent across regions.
Q4: Why is Vietnam so important to UA?
It has the strongest balance of cost, skill, and large production lines for performance apparel.
