Industry Ornamental Iron
The Estate Gate Source for the Industry
We service the US and Canada blacksmithing for fellow fabricators
The North American Crafters, inc. journey began in 1975 when
I drove to Tijuana from Walnut, Calif looking for people to tie macrame' plant hangers. This is me with my grandmother who was wishing me luck!
Serendipity brought me to the neighborhood called Colonia Gran Tenochtitlan shown. Macrame' was the first
product produced by
North American Crafters.
As with all fads, macrame went out of style and was replaced by hand painting on wood in 1983. This became the 2nd product of North American Crafters, Inc. producing 156,000 plaques per month.
In 2003 we switched gears to custom iron work focusing on fabricating for other blacksmith shops in the US and Canada as IOI.
Industry Ornamental Iron is focused on providing the highest quality ironworking. 50 years experience manufacturing in Mexico says a lot.

Prior to the covid pandemic
I shipped 253,000 lbs of jute rope to Tijuana from Bangladesh. I had an urge to revisit my first product, macrame' plant hangers. That is me in the green sweater far left helping to teach the people in the hills of Tijuana how to macrame' again. The timing was blessed and we sold out at the end of the pandemic.
Then back to the finest iron work!
