Founded more than 65 years ago by Ian's father Roy, our long history with earthmoving and machinery has allowed Extons to become one of the largest Earthmoving Company's in North East Victoria. Utilising our fleet of more than 80 machines and 20 Trucks, the latest in GPS technology and our experienced team, we have built a reputation for precision, reliability, and professionalism within local and state bodies as well as private enterprises. Our passion for earthmoving has seen our company diversify and grow to incorporate multiple quarries and quarrying services, bulk haulage and transport, and equipment sales in addition to our earthmoving services.
