KOPPERS INC.
PITTSBURGH, PA

Koppers Inc., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an esteemed integrated global provider of products and services essential for enhancing and modernizing worldwide infrastructure. Founded in December 1988, Koppers has established itself as a pivotal player across several industries including aluminum, railroad, specialty chemicals, utility, rubber, steel, residential lumber, and agriculture. The company prides itself on manufacturing carbon compounds, chemical solutions, and treated wood products tailored to meet the specialized needs of these markets. With an extensive global presence through its manufacturing and distribution network spanning North America, South America, Europe, Australasia, and Asia, Koppers ensures a seamless supply chain catering to a diverse clientele. Central to its offerings is coal tar distillation, from which it derives products such as creosote, carbon pitch, refined tars, carbon black feedstock, naphthalene, and phthalic anhydride (PAA). These materials are critical in creating durable infrastructure components like railroad ties, utility poles, and other treated wood solutions. Koppers operates three primary business segments: Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS), focusing on supplying products such as railroad crossties, utility poles, rail joint bars, and offering bridge services; a sector for developing wood preservation chemicals and technologies for varied applications; and a segment dedicated to the distillation of coal tar into several valuable intermediate materials. A cornerstone of Koppers' ethos is its commitment to fostering a Zero Harm culture prioritizing employee safety, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. As a publicly-traded entity since 2006 on the New York Stock Exchange (formerly listed with ticker 'KOP'), Koppers not only demonstrates financial transparency but also underscores its dedication to social responsibility through its Community Involvement Initiative. This includes the annual KoppersCares Day of Service, partnering with local nonprofit organizations in areas such as family services, health organizations, education, and environmental conservation. With a legacy of over three decades, Koppers continues to thrive under the leadership of President Andrew T Tillapaugh and key officers including James A Sullivan, reinforcing its commitment to meticulous operations and sustainable growth.
