Shiraz Balolia founded Grizzly Industrial Inc., a massive one-stop-shop for all things metal and woodworking machinery and accessories, in the early-1980's with the idea of cutting out the system of middleman markup found with other brands of machinery.
He started his vision from the ground-up with a 'showroom' in the corner of a laundry service entryway, and quickly grew into a massive distributor of high-quality machinery nationwide. Here, Shiraz walks you step-by-step through the trials and tribulations of the experience of creating his dream from scratch, and how that dream continues to drive Grizzly's mission of providing high-quality machinery at great prices, direct to customers.
Their showrooms and catalogs are amazing. I bought my second bandsaw from them and needed warranty work even though I contributed to the problem. They rushed me replacement parts at no cost. I use the saw for resawing lumber and for fine work. I highly recommend them.
