New Group Structure
On October 01, 2009 ThyssenKrupp AG implemented a new Group structure featuring three core elements: the new strategic Corporate Headquarters, the eight operating business areas and the new ThyssenKrupp Business Services.
The new Corporate Headquarters will consolidate the Group's strategic and steering tasks more strongly. It will act as a dependable partner to the business areas, freeing them of administrative duties and allowing them to concentrate on their operating business.
Eight business areas focus the Group's activities in materials and technologies. They integrate similar business models and geographically related business activities. The business areas are organized into two divisions – Materials and Technologies – reflecting ThyssenKrupp's key competency areas. Materials includes the business areas Steel Europe, Steel Americas, Stainless Global and Materials Services. The Technologies division is made up of the business areas Elevator Technology, Plant Technology, Components Technology and Marine Systems.
Steel Americas
The Steel Americas business area will develop the American market for high-quality steel products. It includes the steelmaking and processing plants currently under construction in Alabama and Brazil.
