BRASS SMITH INNOVATIONS

Brass Smith started in 1979 by making brass beds. However, within a year Brass Smith was making custom brass railings and bar fittings for restaurants and bars. This shift in business set Brass Smith on a trajectory of growth and innovation. The next step was the introduction of food guards. Huge, shiny brass food guards were the rage and Brass Smith was the go-to company for high-quality guards. When Brass Smith introduced ZGuard (the first patented, component-based, adjustable food guard) it became the industry standard. The modern clean look made the food the focus, not the food guard. Following this success Brass Smith introduced a revolutionary new design for a patented overhead food warmer, and a unique merchandising system called ZSpace.
