Bob Rose

Bob Rose, the current president of Rose Iron Works, was only nine years old when Martin, his grandfather and company founder, died. He distinctly recalls sitting on his grandfather’s knee and being given the “key” to the family’s business- the gilded key shaped sign which hung over the door of Martin’s first shop in Hungary – in the hopes it would instill dedication to the blacksmithing craft. It worked! Guided by Melvin, his father, Bob has devoted his working career to sustaining a tradition of excellence and has helped build the team responsible for the company’s achievements during the past five decades.
