Grizzly Iron Inc. is a family-owned business based in Arizona, established in 1987 by Rodger 'Grizz' LaBrash. Initially known as Grizzly Welding and Custom Fabrication, the company began its journey by offering basic welding services and custom fabrication for various metalwork projects. Over the years, Grizzly Iron has evolved into a premier supplier of decorative and functional ironwork, known for its exquisite hand-forged products. The company prides itself on combining old-world blacksmithing techniques with contemporary fabrication methods to produce timeless, high-quality ironwork that appeals to discerning clients.
The turning point for Grizzly Iron came in 1996 when Rodger was commissioned to create a distinctive driveway gate, which led him to embrace the craft of forged ironwork. This work allowed him to hone his skills and focus on the artistry of metal design. Grizzly Iron creates an array of products ranging from custom gates and railings to unique outdoor sculptures and fireplace screens, serving both residential and commercial clients. The family’s commitment to craftsmanship ensures that every product reflects the unique needs and visions of the clients.
Today, Rodger and his son Jason continue the legacy of quality and craftsmanship, with Jason managing client interactions and project installations. The company maintains a strong dedication to customer satisfaction, ensuring that each piece is made with both artistry and durability in mind. Grizzly Iron stands as one of Arizona's largest blacksmith shops, retaining a reputation for excellence in custom ironwork. Through every piece they create, the team at Grizzly Iron honors a tradition of quality and attention to detail, setting them apart in a market flooded with mass-produced options.
