JOPLIN, Mo. — More than seven decades ago, E.L. Craig began working at the age of 12 and went on to start a series of businesses. In 1944, he started his final business venture – a small roofing manufacturer named TAMKO.
Over the next 75 years, TAMKO Building Products grew from one small location to one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of roofing and building products, and as of this month, officially celebrated 75 years in business.
