History

In 1946, the American dream was alive and flourishing. World War II had ended, and the future was full of hope and opportunity. As people began to rebuild their lives, Arthur O. Edwards began to build a business to help a prospering population realize their dreams for new homes.

Edwards began manufacturing insulated asphalt siding with his father and brother. It was the right product at the right time – the siding was economical and very easy to maintain. In fact, it was this very siding that helped pioneer the concept of “virtually maintenance-free” to the housing industry. Sales soared along with the post-war home construction boom, and EDCO Products, Inc. was born.

Based in Hopkins, Minnesota, EDCO Products, Inc.’s mission was simple: provide customers with the best products available. Today, EDCO is the largest producer of residential steel siding in the country, with an expanded line of prefinished exterior building products to serve both residential and commercial markets.

After over 60 years of business, EDCO hasn’t lost sight of its original mission. In everything we do, we remain committed to craftsmanship, innovation and excellence.
