South Korea-Based PPI America Plans Iron County, Utah, Manufacturing Operations

09/15/2025
South Korea-based PPI America Inc., a company serving the chloride piping industry, plans to establish manufacturing operations in Iron County, Utah. The $52.2 million project is expected to create 50 jobs over the next five years.

“During our evaluation of expanding our presence in the US, when looking at Utah and Cedar City specifically, we were extremely impressed with the rapid development of Iron County and its logistical advantages,” said Agnes HyeJung Lee, President of PPI America Inc.

The project is being supported by a Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity post-performance tax reduction. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Rural Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program.

“Clean, reliable water is vital to Utah’s future,” noted Jefferson Moss, GOEO’s executive director. “PPI America Inc., delivers safe drinking water while driving innovation, strengthening communities, and helping Utah attract new businesses.”

PPI PIPE Co. Ltd. specializes in the manufacturing of iPVC (innovative PVC) pipes and fittings for water and plumbing, as well as for sewage and firefighting applications.

“Cedar City has long held strong global ties with South Korea, and we are thrilled to welcome PPI America Inc. to our community,” added David Johnson, economic development director for Cedar City and Iron County. “Its decision to invest in Cedar City with a new production facility not only strengthens Utah’s economy but also reinforces our reputation as a place where international companies thrive. We look forward to the success of PPI America Inc. in Cedar City and welcome it to southern Utah.”
