Descriptiontext

EDCO Products, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of steel exterior building products, founded in the late 1940s and headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota. The company designs, manufactures, and sells steel roofing (ArrowLine Shake, ArrowLine Slate, Generations HD, Infiniti Textured Shake), steel siding (Traditional Lap, Dutchlap, Perspectives Shiplap, Board and Batten, and shake sidewall profiles), and coordinated soffit, fascia, trim, and rainware accessories. Its product engineering centers on proprietary finishes and coatings — PVDF cool-roof paint, Infiniti thermal-fused particle technology, ENTEX Cool Chemistry paint, RealGrain woodgrain design, SmoothSeam panel connections, and the VersaLok installation system — that replicate the aesthetics of cedar shake, slate, and wood while delivering steel-grade durability.

The business operates a one-time-purchase revenue model routed exclusively through a channel of licensed, EDCO-certified contractors and building product distributors, with an additional specification layer serving architects and production builders. End customers are primarily residential homeowners undertaking roof replacement, siding renovation, or new construction, with a secondary commercial and multi-family segment. Products are sold across the United States and Canada, with no direct-to-consumer e-commerce and no public pricing. EDCO supports the channel with a color visualization tool, comparison guides, an inspiration gallery, and warranty registration/transfer mechanics, and backs its products with a lifetime non-prorated warranty covering both material and labor — a structural differentiator the source material claims competitors do not match.
