A COMPANY INGRAINED IN THE WOOD

POLE INDUSTRY

Koppers has been in the wood treatment

and utility pole business since our company

was formed. We have exceptional access to

the trees. We continue to advance the science

of wood treatment and preservation at our own

R&D facility near our corporate headquarters

in Pittsburgh. And because we are part of a global

corporation, Koppers Utility Poles is able to

harness the unmatched innovation and expertise

of our wood businesses all around the world.

OUR HIGH-QUALITY POLES STAND

THE TEST OF TIME

Timber poles continue to dominate steel, concrete

or composite poles in the marketplace. Koppers

poles are treated to American Wood Preservers

Association (AWPA) standards and exacting

customer specifications. In addition, we under-

stand that wood treatment is as much an art as

a science. Realizing that each pole is a unique

product of nature, the experts at Koppers have

the knowledge to make on-the-fly adjustments

and refinements to the treatment process that

only comes from experience. You simply will not

find higher quality poles made by more highly

qualified people.

We Stand for Leadership and Expertise Within the Wood Industry.

SAFETY, THE ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY:

STANDING TALL WHERE IT COUNTS

At Koppers our commitment to workplace

safety management begins with one simple

goal… prevention. It is an ongoing effort

that means adhering to recognized safety

performance standards, analyzing performance

data to develop corrective actions and keeping

employees aware of risks.

Around the world, Koppers sets the standard

for responsible environmental performance among

our peers. We go beyond compliance with national,

regional and local laws to protect the environment.

Each one of our facilities is ISO 14001 certified.

ISO 14001 represents the core set of standards used

by organizations for designing and implementing

an effective environmental management system.

Koppers treating plants in Florence, SC and

Grenada, MS are AAR M-1003 certified for utility

poles. AAR M-1003 was originally a replica of the

ISO 9001-1994 Quality Standard and has since

evolved into a separate and standalone Quality

Assurance Program. The program requires that

products are built to a particular specification

and that your product and processes that create

the product continue to improve, thus making

the existing quality program grow in strength

and reliability.

Koppers has a long history serving and providing quality products to both rural and urban customers, whether investor-owned,

co-operative or large municipal utility.
