Profile and organizational structure
Our Value Proposition
thyssenkrupp is an international industrial and technology group. Together with our customers we want to use our extensive and long-standing expertise in the innovation of technologies to develop cost-effective, resource- and environment-friendly solutions to the challenges of the future.
Under a strong umbrella brand we want to make a contribution to a better, more livable and more sustainable future with our innovative products, technologies and services, and thus demonstrate our responsibility towards future generations. To this end, we pursue ambitious climate protection targets and improve our own energy and climate efficiency. At the same time, we want to use our abilities along the relevant value chains to provide key support for customers in the green transformation. We aim to enable the fundamental renewal of industry as a whole – but especially energy-intensive sectors – and play an active part in shaping and driving the green transformation. Our brand promise of helping our customers to advance and the standards we set ourselves are reflected in our claim “engineering.tomorrow.together.” Diversity and global reach define thyssenkrupp. We want everyone who works for us to feel free and be able to reach their full potential – irrespective of origin, gender, skin color, disabilities, age, sexual orientation and identity, and other factors. We want to combine performance culture with entrepreneurial and social responsibility.
Organizational and management structure
To enhance the visibility of thyssenkrupp’s capabilities in respect of the green transformation and to give the businesses operating in this growth market a new profile within the group, we realigned our portfolio effective October 1, 2023. Specifically, we combined our key technologies for the decarbonization of industry in the new Decarbon Technologies segment. The Bearings and Forged Technologies business units, which were reported as segments in the prior year, were transferred to the new Decarbon Technologies segment and to the Automotive Technology segment, respectively.
In the past fiscal year, our business activities were organized in five segments: Automotive Technology, Decarbon Technologies, Materials Services, Steel Europe and Marine Systems.
The segments are generally divided into business units and operating units. As of September 30, 2024, 321 companies and 16 investments accounted for by the equity method are included in the consolidated financial statements; overall we consolidate companies from 47 countries.
Our service units are combined at two companies – thyssenkrupp Services GmbH and thyssenkrupp Information Management GmbH – and provide cross-cutting services to the businesses and Corporate Headquarters. Furthermore, four regional platforms offer services required by the operating businesses in the various regions.
