The Ironclad Library: Finding Fire by Lennox Hastie

We want people to shop well, and buy once. When you buy an Ironclad, you, your kids and your kids' kids are guaranteed never to need to buy or throwaway another pan. Our products have multi-purpose functionality at the heart of their design. And since we put millions of Teflon-coated pans into landfill every year in Australia, buying one quality, locally-made thing that's guaranteed for 100 years will reduce the number of pans we send to landfill every year. All of our materials are locally-sourced, reducing our environmental footprint, and we employ local labour and pay them fairly, contributing to our local workforce and economy.

Most cast iron cookware is made using virgin materials. However, we only use the highest grade of recycled iron, so nothing is taken from the ground. Our packaging includes no plastic and is made from recycled, environmentally-friendly materials. With our "Planet Safe" knife range, the handles are a tightly engineered matrix of sheep's wool - taking the plastic out of plastic handles. The only knives in the world with wool handles.

Yes - all of our kitchen and camp goods are made in Australia and New Zealand, partnering with local manufacturers and artisans to create things that will last, and last, and last.

Every year, we partner with Legasea who are dedicated to restoring marine life and ensuring there's abundance. On Black Friday weekend, we donate 20% of our profits from that long weekend to Legasea. We also partner with a number of charities and NGO's throughout the year.

At The Ironclad Co., we're passionate about creating an inclusive work environment and are committed to diversity and equity. We are an equal opportunity workplace and consider all qualified candidates for our open roles regardless of age, gender, race, colour, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, family or carer’s responsibilities.
