TAMKO Aligns Decking Operation

Joplin, Mo. –TAMKO Building Products Inc. has aligned management of its composite decking operation and created new positions to drive growth for its decking business. TAMKO’s Tamko Building Products
Executive Vice President Tim Whelan will now lead all aspects of the composite decking operation. He will be assisted by the newly promoted Senior Director Decking Brian Lowry and General Sales Manager Decking Matt Shaner.

According to Whelan, “We recognized that our intense focus on the growth of TAMKO’s core roofing business over the past several years diverted attention and resources from the decking operation. These organizational changes were made to return the entrepreneurial spirit, passion and innovation that drove the early explosive growth of EverGrain decking.”

Senior Director Decking
Brian Lowry, who was promoted to senior director decking, will be responsible for all aspects of TAMKO’s decking operations, including sales, marketing, manufacturing and R&D. Lowry has been with TAMKO since 1996. He and Whelan were involved with TAMKO’s initial entry into the decking market in 2001, including the inaugural launch of EverGrain decking.
