About WorkRite
WorkRite was formed in 1908 by the Meyer family, with the first product being radios for home use.
Due to the shortage of aluminum during WWII, Hughes Aircraft started producing aircraft parts out of laminated birch.
A radio frequency portable machine was developed in-house to speed up the processing of these parts.
After World War II, WorkRite was approached by Robert McDonald, an engineer who had worked for Hughes Aircraft during the war, to manufacture an RF machine for the Woodworking Industry.
WorkRite is a trusted Wood Welding Machine Manufacturer with a legacy of innovation dating back to 1947, when the company introduced the first portable RF wood welding machines for commercial use. This breakthrough technology transformed wood bonding in industries like furniture, cabinetry, and door manufacturing.
In 2021, WorkRite was acquired by ArtDesign Group LLC, ensuring the continued support, repair, refurbishment, and supply of parts for the widely used high-frequency Model 3000 and 4000 RF wood welders.
With thousands of RF wood welding machines still operating worldwide, we take pride in our responsibility as a leading wood welding machine manufacturer to provide reliable maintenance, replacement parts, and long-term customer support.
The demand for RF wood welders continues to grow as cabinet manufacturers, furniture factories, and industrial woodworking companies rely on our advanced technology to significantly reduce clamping time and improve production efficiency. Our machines are trusted globally and shipped to customers across multiple countries.
Continuing our tradition of innovation, we proudly introduce the latest Model 5000—an advanced RF wood welding machine featuring upgraded components, enhanced performance, and proudly manufactured in the USA.
This website is dedicated to the memory of Robert Meyer, a mentor, teacher, and valued member of the WorkRite legacy, as well as to every professional who has relied on WorkRite wood welding machines and needed dependable support.
