TAMKO Knoxville Plant Celebrates 45-Year Milestone, Retirement of Longtime Leadership
GALENA, Kan. — On July 15, TAMKO Building Products proudly celebrates the 45th anniversary of its Knoxville, Tenn. plant, along with the retirements of Steve Russell and Arnold “Scott” Newby, two TAMKO leaders who both achieved 44-year careers and were instrumental to the long-term success of the Knoxville facility.
Russell was among the first TAMKO employees who worked at the Knoxville plant, following TAMKO’s purchase in 1976. His positions at the facility included various engineering roles and then several promotions across the company before being named senior director of integrated products, a senior leadership position for multiple TAMKO manufacturing locations, including the Knoxville facility. Upon his retirement, Russell had more than 44 years of dedicated service to TAMKO.
