Great business to deal with. They are happy to cut me whatever short lengths I need and post or courier to me out in the middle of nowhere. AAA+++

Edcon Steel is a convenient, transparent way to buy steel. They have a wide range of alloys and sizes. For the needs of Plithos Renewables, Stainless Steel 316 was the go-to and parts could be cut to length. It is very easy to do business with Edcon Steel.

Competitive pricing, great customer service by ALL staff members, return claims handled professionally without any 'Ifs' or 'buts'. Very friendly. They are raising the bar to a new standard in Australian retail customer service.
