KOPPERS INC.
PITTSBURGH, PA

Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Koppers Inc. has carved out a significant role as a global provider of specialized products and services needed to modernize infrastructure worldwide since its founding in December 1988. Known for its influence across various sectors such as aluminum, railroad, specialty chemicals, utilities, rubber, steel, residential lumber, and agriculture, Koppers excels in crafting carbon compounds, chemical solutions, and treated wood products tailored specifically for these industries. Koppers boasts a robust international network, with facilities and operations spread out over North America, South America, Europe, Australasia, and Asia. This extensive reach allows it to maintain an efficient supply chain that effectively serves a wide range of clients. At the heart of its product line is coal tar distillation processes, which produce essential materials like creosote, carbon pitch, refined tars, carbon black feedstock, naphthalene, and phthalic anhydride (PAA). These components are integral in manufacturing durable infrastructure elements such as railroad ties and utility poles. Koppers is structured across three main business segments: the Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS) which delivers products like railroad crossties, utility poles, rail joint bars, along with related services; a segment focused on developing wood preservation chemicals and technologies for diverse applications; and another dedicated to coal tar distillation producing numerous vital intermediate materials. At its core, Koppers is deeply committed to enhancing safety through its Zero Harm philosophy which emphasizes employee well-being, environmental care, and active community involvement. Since going public in 2006 on the New York Stock Exchange (formerly ticker 'KOP'), Koppers maintains transparency in its financial dealings while actively engaging with society via initiatives like the annual KoppersCares Day of Service. This initiative collaborates with local nonprofits to support family services, health organizations, education, and environmental conservation efforts. With a rich history spanning over three decades, Koppers continues to flourish under President Andrew T Tillapaugh's leadership and key officers such as James A Sullivan, reinforcing their commitment to precise operations and sustainable progress.
