As modern masters of global infrastructure and seasoned industry advisors, our commitment to people, planet, and performance is the foundation for all we put forth.

Our services support critical infrastructure industries around the world. As trusted advisors with decades of proven success, we've seen it all, done it all, and are ready for whatever comes next.
Protecting what matters while preserving the future—guided by this purpose, the Koppers sustainability strategy focuses on three key pillars of people, planet, and performance.
We are a leading global manufacturer of specialty pressure-treated wood products for the utility industry, playing a critical role in electrical and communications infrastructure.
We strive to source sustainably harvested materials for products that help enable increased commerce and advance modern society.
These products include pressure-treated wood utility poles and crossarms as well as structural wood pilings used in deep foundation systems, along with heavy civil and marine construction projects.
Durable and decay-resistant, our treated wood products help increase safety and reduce replacement costs. At the same time, we help sequester carbon dioxide through preservation of existing forests.
