Since we last spoke with TAMKO Building Products( TAMKO) around 12 months ago, there have been several investments and innovations underway. As the leading provider of‘ America’ s shingle,’ TAMKO is well recognized for its rich history, core values, and quality products. In 2024, the business celebrated its 80th anniversary – a milestone achieved via three generations of dedicated family leadership and continued investment. We catch up with COO Jeffrey Beyer for an update on the last year or so, as well as plans for the company’ s future.
“ It’ s been a transformative and fastpaced year at TAMKO, driven by our ongoing mission to support the success of residential roofing contractors,” Jeffrey opens.
“ We’ ve made significant investments in teams, tools, and technologies that help contractors grow their businesses and help protect America’ s homes. A major part of this investment has been the development of dedicated departments focused exclusively on contractor engagement and support. We’ ve also added a Director of Contractor Engagement and established a department to provide white-glove service to our top-tier contractors.
“ We’ ve also continued to expand our TAMKO ® Tech Stack, a suite of digital and marketing tools designed to improve efficiency for contractors. These include solutions that streamline project registration, enhance homeowner presentations, and deliver real-time access to promotional tools and assets. It’ s all part of our broader strategy
... it’ s easy to see why these shingles earn recognition; they truly redefine what’ s possible in asphalt roofing
to empower contractors with the technology, training, and resources they need to succeed.”
Alongside these investments, TAMKO has seen strong market adoption of its ProLine ® products, especially Titan XT ® and StormFighter FLEX ® shingles.
“ We’ ve made strategic expansions to our ProLine ® manufacturing capabilities, ensuring contractors have access to the products they need, when they need them,” Jeffrey elaborates.
“ On the operations side, we’ ve implemented new AI and machine learning tools in our manufacturing processes, enhancing our ability to make real-time, data-driven decisions that reduce variation and improve quality.”
