products to build , and markets to serve , as Jeff details : “ It ’ s a really exciting time for us at the moment . On the manufacturing side , we ’ re using AI , autopilot and digital twin technology to create breakthroughs in manufacturing in terms of increased productivity , reduced waste and improved quality . On the product side , we ’ re building out the performance product category and working closely with roofers to understand their needs and how we can provide solutions . In addition , TAMKO is also focused on how to manufacture products more sustainably .
“ We ’ re excited to build out our partnership with Northstar Clean Technologies . Northstar ’ s mission is to be the leader in recovery and reprocessing of asphalt shingles in North America . So , it was a natural fit with TAMKO . TAMKO ’ s relationship with Northstar will not only help us make more sustainable
shingles but also diversify and add resilience to our supply chain . Northstar is in the process of selecting the first location on the east coast and is looking to add several more North
American facilities . “ TAMKO currently has five shingle manufacturing plants and six other plants supplying those shingle plants . This vertical integration lowers costs , reduces variation , minimizes supply chain risks and improves quality . Our plan for the future will be to strengthen that network . Looking forward , TAMKO expects to continue to invest in great people , tools and facilities to provide innovative , high-quality products that address the needs of roofing professionals and homeowners ,” he concludes . ■
