Treated timber poles are relied upon by the Australian electricity networks to support power lines, a critical infrastructure to service our cities, industry and communities alike.

Koppers has a long and trusted supply history partnering with many network utilities across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

The electricity networks require more than 60,000 poles per annum, providing Koppers with a very stable market. In turn this provides Koppers supply partners, such as the many private property forest owners we work with, a very reliable customer base year in and year out.
