Koppers Inc.

Koppers Inc. is an industrial company that supplies wood preservation technologies, carbon compounds and treatment services used to protect and extend the life of infrastructure assets, including utility poles, railroad ties and timber structures. Its treatment operations apply preservatives and related compounds to these assets to prevent decay, fire damage and environmental wear, avoiding costly replacement cycles for customers in utilities, telecommunications, railroad and transportation, and energy distribution. The company's stated purpose is "Protecting What Matters. Preserving The Future."

Alongside its core preservation technologies and carbon compound products, Koppers offers fire retardant systems, wood enhancement products designed to improve the performance of timber infrastructure while reducing environmental impact, and end-of-life recovery services that recapture and recycle infrastructure materials rather than sending them to landfill. The work spans process, chemical and materials handling operations across a network of treatment facilities.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, the company employs more than 2,100 people and operates across five regions: North America, South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Koppers reports industry expertise stretching back over a century, combined with ongoing investment in sustainable treatment methods and materials recovery.
