TAMKO® Aligns with Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance to Drive Innovation, High Performance, and a Better Path Forward

For more than 80 years, TAMKO® has built its reputation by doing what it says it will do: standing behind its products, supporting contractors, and protecting homeowners. Today, that long-standing commitment continues as TAMKO announces its strategic alignment with the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance (RSRA) and industry advocate Adam Bensman.


Joplin, MO — 1/16/2026 — For more than 80 years, TAMKO® has built its reputation by doing what it says it will do: standing behind its products, supporting contractors, and protecting homeowners. Today, that long-standing commitment continues as TAMKO announces its strategic alignment with the Roofing & Solar Reform Alliance (RSRA) and industry advocate Adam Bensman.

This alignment reflects not a new brand direction, but the culmination of focused development over the last five years, marked by the rollout of high-performance products like Titan XT® and StormFighter FLEX® shingles, the expansion of The TAMKO Edge® contractor program, and continued investment in innovation, transparency, and contractor support.

Focused on mutual benefit – serving homeowners, empowering contractors, and strengthening communities, TAMKO’s alignment with RSRA reinforces a belief that has guided the company for decades: integrity matters, transparency builds trust, and protection goes beyond the roof. “At TAMKO, commitment isn’t a slogan; it’s how we operate,” said Alex Hines, Vice President of Sales and Chief Revenue Officer. “We are intentional about supporting contractors, protecting homeowners, and strengthening the communities we serve. Adam Bensman and RSRA share those same values, and this alignment reflects our shared belief that transparency and accountability are essential to the future of our industry.”

Founded on the principle of Fighting for What’s Right, RSRA has become a respected voice for reform advocating for collaboration fair treatment of contractors, ethical business practices, and providing exceptional service to protections for homeowners navigating roofing and solar projects.

“It’s crystal clear that TAMKO’s values and commitment to excellence in both relationships and product development are focused on homeowners and contractors, not just shareholders,” said Bensman. “TAMKO has a long history of standing with contractors and investing in the long-term health of the industry. We share the belief that homeowners come first and that trust, accountability, and transparency are what will keep this industry strong.”

As a privately held, independent manufacturer, TAMKO understands that being smaller means trying harder. That mindset drives the company to innovate not only in products, but in programs and processes designed to help contractors protect their reputation, reduce call-backs, and deliver on their promises to homeowners.

As part of this effort, TAMKO and RSRA will collaborate on industry education, advocacy initiatives, contractor outreach, and public awareness efforts that strengthen trust across the industry.

This announcement underscores TAMKO’s brand promise Performance that ProtectsTM - delivered through products that perform as promised, programs that support contractor growth, and leadership guided by integrity.
