IKO North America

IKO Roofing is a worldwide leader in the roofing, waterproofing, and insulation industry for residential and commercial markets. A vertically integrated company, IKO operates more than 30 manufacturing plants throughout North America and Europe. IKO is a family-owned business established in 1951.

The company was founded in Calgary, Alberta, where it first produced building paper before starting shingle production three years later. Its operations now extend across North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Israel and New Zealand, with U.S. plants in locations such as Wilmington, Delaware; Sumas, Washington; Sylacauga, Alabama; and Hillsboro and Ennis, Texas.

IKO's product lines include residential shingles, stone coated metal roofing under IKO Metals, and commercial roofing, waterproofing and insulation systems. The company makes most major components of its shingles itself, including oxidizing its own weathering asphalt and crushing its own limestone. Its products have been used on projects such as the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg and the Bournemouth Oceanarium in England.
