What RDO Induction does

RDO Induction, Inc. is a privately-held New Jersey corporation, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Fairfield, NJ, that designs and manufactures industrial induction heating systems. The company's core technology is built on solid-state IGBT and MOSFET-based power electronics operating across frequencies of 20kHz to 400kHz and power outputs of 2kW to 25kW, enabling precise, localized heating of conductive materials through electromagnetic induction. Its product portfolio spans induction power supplies (DuraPower, HU2i, Sinus, Model LFI-HFI), casting systems (EasyCast, SuperCast J4/J5/D5/Pro, CS Series), melting and smelting systems (S Series, LC Series, EasyMelt, Shuttle Electric Melter), the Autoblocks automation platform, infrared temperature controllers, external cooling systems, and consumables including graphite, silicon carbide, and ceramic crucibles plus graphite ingot molds and rods.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time equipment sales via a quote-driven enterprise field sales motion, supplemented by recurring consumable sales through a dedicated e-commerce storefront (shoprdo.com) and field service revenue (minimum $2,500/day plus travel). Its customer base spans jewelry casting, dental casting, precious and non-precious metals processing, carbide tool manufacturing, general industrial manufacturing, and emerging applications in electric vehicle production and crystal growing. The patented Rotating Coil System (RCS) in SuperCast casting machines and the Autoblocks recipe-driven automation platform are the company's primary technical differentiators. RDO supports the sales cycle with an in-house application testing lab that produces video capture and written process reports.

RDO operates as a lean, owner-managed business with a disclosed headcount band of 1-10 employees, no institutional funding rounds, and no acquisitions or leadership transitions on record. Its geographic footprint is centered in the United States with global sales reach via direct enterprise engagement. The company maintains a small but active digital presence centered on its website, educational content on induction heating fundamentals, case studies, and a media gallery, with a sales contact ([email protected]) directing inbound enterprise inquiries.
