Koppers is the world’s largest producer of treated wood products and the largest provider of railroad track crossties. Koppers serves the nation’s top Class 1 and consumer railroads with treated-wood railroad ties and railroad crossing panels.

Treated wood creates more durable structures that resist decay, increasing safety, reducing replacement costs and preserving valuable forests.

KSA supplies prestressed concrete crossties, switch ties, switch tie turnouts, rehabilitated wood ties and related products and services. Concrete can reduce maintenance costs in areas with heavy curves or heavy tonnage. KSA is a partnership among Koppers, Sherman International, and Abetong AB.

Dependable, economical, pressure-treated wood crossties, switch ties, and lumber are the foundation of Koppers railroad products and services.

Koppers maintains one of the industry’s most extensive inventories of specialty track hardware and components designed to fulfill both special notice and routine railroading needs.

By pre-plating with automated equipment, in factory-controlled conditions, Koppers lowers field installation costs and produces better crossties more economically.

Koppers pre-assembles track panels in the factory to provide a high level of accuracy and precision, custom designed for new construction projects.
