In 1946, EDCO officially incorporated by Arthur Edwards Sr. and his two sons, Arthur Edwards Jr. and John Edwards, in Hopkins, Minnesota. This began a journey with a laser-focused commitment on innovation, quality and service. When Art Edwards Jr. returned from the war and wanted to capitalize on the housing boom that was taking place across the United States, it was their vision to bring to market a lasting and affordable residential siding product. With that as the objective, the company built a manufacturing facility and began producing and distributing asphalt siding. As material advancements became available, the company shifted from asphalt to aluminum and eventually steel. Art would take this vision to new heights in the late 90’s when EDCO entered the steel roofing market – and experienced immediate success. Art passed away in 2012 however his innovative, visionary and entrepreneurial spirit live on today through all of EDCO’s 200+ employees.  EDCO is one of the oldest and continuous running domestic metal fabricators, and is the largest manufacturer of pre-finished metal siding products in the United States. Today, as the only true full-line manufacturer of exterior building materials, our product offering includes a comprehensive line of siding, roofing, soffit, fascia, and gutter systems.  WATCH ARTHUR EDWARDS INTERVIEW
