No, TAMKO shingles are not discontinued, TAMKO Building Products remains in business and continues to manufacture asphalt shingles at its plants in Joplin, Missouri and other US locations, though some specific product lines have been discontinued or renamed over time as part of normal product evolution. TAMKO, founded in 1944, is one of the largest privately owned roofing manufacturers in the US and as of 2024-2026 actively produces popular lines including TAMKO Heritage, Heritage Premium, Titan XT with AnchorLock and Anchorshield technology, Elite Glass-Seal three-tab, and Proline Titan series. However, TAMKO has discontinued some older lines and colors, for example TAMKO Lamarite slate and certain Heritage colors have been phased out, and its MetalWorks metal shingle line was discontinued. Like all shingle manufacturers, TAMKO periodically discontinues low-selling colors or older formulations to introduce new improved formulations meeting new building codes for Class 4 impact and R-454B era. If you heard TAMKO was discontinued, it may refer to a specific distributor no longer carrying TAMKO or a specific color being phased out, not the company. TAMKO shingles are widely available through ABC Supply, Beacon, and other distributors, and Home Depot and Lowe's in some markets. For current availability, check TAMKO website product catalog which lists active shingles. So TAMKO as a brand is active and not discontinued.
