Fyron is the new group name for the brands OFYR, The Bastard, Grill Guru and Grizzly Grills. The two largest Dutch companies in the Outdoor Cooking market have merged in 2021. 200 Fahrenheit, the company behind The Bastard, Grill Guru and Grizzly Grills, and OFYR now continue under a new name and corporate Identity: Fyron. The new group aims to become the European market leader of the Outdoor Cooking field. With their shared passion for food, outdoor cooking, quality, innovation and entrepreneurship, this wonderful blend of brands has a great ambition to keep growing together.

Great moments start with fire

Since the Outdoor Cooking market is very broad, it requires brands that have their own identity, target group and distribution model. Using a multi-brand approach, the brands OFYR, The Bastard, Grill Guru and Grizzly Grills will each continue to offer their own experience and cooking method to serve all their respective segments.

The Fyron Group is determined to represent the abundancy and diversity of the European culinary experience, in a market that is traditionally dominated by American players. In doing so, the act of barbecuing is transformed into a full-fledged concept of the Outdoor Cooking markter. With a market share of 23,3% in the Netherlands* (+61,8%) and a presence in more than 40 countries, the group’s brands have proven that this new concept is catching on with the general public.
