Dynaweld Trade Partner – Edcon Steel

---

Just like Dynaweld, Edcon Steel is a family business that spans multiple generations and continues to grow today.

Over 50 years ago, in the late ‘60s, the uncle and father of Hugh Edmunds, Edcon’s Managing Director, began with a simple chain wire machine in their garage before joining forces with a local boiler maker called Frank Horton, to establish Edmunds and Horton (as the business was known then).

In 1976, this small metalworking shop on Orchard Road in Brookvale was renamed Edcon Steel, (short for Edmunds Construction).

It was also the year it won the contract to fabricate metalwork and structural steel for QANTAS House in Sydney.

“Edcon supplies steel fabrication services and products for everything from large infrastructure projects, builders and welders, right through to DIY home projects.

We recently supplied 50 tonnes of steel plate for the roads outside of the new Northern Beaches Hospital,” says Alan Owens, Operations Manager of Edcon Steel.

“Edcon also provides steel for the sculptures for Bondi icon, ‘Sculptures by the Sea’.”

“Model train builds, residential tasks, HSC major works… [whatever the project], we cut all of our products to size and supply a wide range of steels and metals for all sorts of domestic and commercial projects,” Alan explains.

All Edcon Steel locations now carry the Dynaweld range. Alan says it’s a perfect match:

“We aim to be a one stop shop for our customers and the Dynaweld range helps us to do that. Our customers also have the reassurance of knowing they are buying a better quality welding product because they are buying it from a steel company.”

Dynaweld NSW Account Manager, Wayne Goodfellow, makes sure he looks after the business and its clientele through preferential pricing and exclusive deals. He wants them to be the first point of contact for customers.
