Our History

What started in the home of Jim and Betty Wright in 1976 has grown to be a leader in the saw sharpening equipment industry. The Wrights opened a machine shop during the late ‘80s, in the height of the machine tools industry’s boom. During that time they employed over 40 people who helped them offer over 70 different machines to their loyal customer base. After years of being privately owned and family operated, the Wrights sold the company to Burton Saw & Supply. Even though Burton Saw & Supply has been Wright’s parent company since 2004, Betty still makes it down to the shop twice a month to bring donuts to all of Wright’s employees.             

Today Wright Machine employs 25 people who continue to uphold the original tradition of American made equipment that Jim and Betty started their company with. At our shop in Cottage Grove we use state-of-the-art production processes to custom design, fabricate, machine, finish, and assemble all of our products. With all of our services and production being done in house, you can trust that we’ll guarantee the work we give to you.
