What Tilcor does
Tilcor, a brand of Ross Roof Group, manufactures stone-coated steel roofing systems sold under three core product profiles (CF Shingle, CF Shake, and Antica) and distributed globally in 80+ countries. The company's products are engineered from ZINCALUME® steel (a zinc/aluminium-coated substrate sourced from New Zealand Steel Limited) with stone granules embedded in an acrylic polymer matrix, and feature a proprietary Concealed Fastening system, interlocking panel design rated for winds up to 190 kph, and Above Sheathing Ventation for energy efficiency. Manufacturing is concentrated in Hamilton, New Zealand, with regional offices in Grand Prairie, Texas (US headquarters); Dubai (Middle East/Africa, opened 2012); Poland (Europe, opened 2014); and Japan (Asia, opened 2015).
The business operates a B2B2C model: products are sold exclusively through a global network of authorized, trained installers who are supported with on-site training and assessment programs, while end-consumer demand is generated through website content marketing, inspiration galleries, case studies, and a quote-request funnel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer segments include homeowners (re-roofing and new construction), architects and specifiers, builders and developers, and roofing contractors, with named reference projects spanning education (Illinois State University), government/historic preservation (Barker House), hospitality (hotels and resorts), and multi-family real estate (Aquarius Condominiums). All products carry a 50-year transferable warranty and are certified under ISO 9001, CE Mark, BBA, Miami-Dade, Florida Building Commission, Texas Department of Insurance, and ICC approvals.
