The Koppers name has a rich tradition in manufacturing,
carrying forth a reputation that has stood for quality and dependability
for over eight decades. In early 1988, Beazer East acquired Koppers
Company, Inc. and later, in December of that year, the current
company, Koppers Inc., was created as Koppers Industries, Inc.
when
assets of Koppers Company, Inc. were purchased
in a management-led leveraged buyout. One of those assets was the
"Koppers" name. The company shortened its name from Koppers Industries,
Inc. to Koppers
Inc.
in February
2003. While some of our employees once
worked for Koppers Company, Inc., Koppers Inc. is not the successor
company to Koppers Company, Inc.
Today, Koppers is known the world over for top
quality treated wood products, carbon materials and chemicals.
It has continued a strong heritage of manufacturing quality and
provides products and services to the steel, aluminum, railroads,
utilities, chemicals and rubber industries.
