Since 1944, the TAMKO story has been one of innovation, quality and long-standing customer relationships. Though a lot has changed since we introduced our first shingle over 70 years ago in Joplin, Missouri, one thing remains the same: our commitment to constantly moving the industry forward with a wide variety of building products.
Our seven decades of success is the direct result of teamwork, enduring relationships with customers, suppliers and employees, and our company-wide commitment to continuous improvement, including the Six Sigma program, a business strategy and management philosophy designed to improve our processes and products.
Vertical integration is also a key part of TAMKO’s success. We are a vertically integrated company, owning and operating several of our own raw materials plants. Maintaining greater control over the entire manufacturing process allows us to deliver consistent supply by reducing shortages and delivery times.
Today, TAMKO remains headquartered in Joplin—the very place it first began—and operates additional manufacturing facilities and warehouse facilities across the country in order to serve its customers with roofing and building products.
Take a look below at our latest innovations in building products, and discover how each innovation set the foundation for where we are today.
In 1944, at the age of 69, E.L. Craig began a roofing business in an old streetcar barn in Joplin, Missouri. Mrs. Mary Ethel Craig named the company TAMKO — from the first letters of the five states the company anticipated as its sales territory: Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. She later assumed the leadership of TAMKO in 1954 due to Mr. Craig's health. The Craigs' daughter, Ethelmae, directed TAMKO's operations during the '50s and has continued as TAMKO's chairman to this day. In 1960, Ethelmae's husband, J.P. (Jay) Humphreys, became TAMKO's president.
Following Jay's death in 1993, David Craig Humphreys (Jay and Ethelmae's eldest son) assumed TAMKO's leadership in 1994 — the same year the company name changed to TAMKO Roofing Products, Inc. to reflect the company's focus on roofing products. Since 1994, TAMKO's expansion has continued at a dramatic pace, expanding TAMKO's production capabilities for additional products.
