About thyssenkrupp AG

thyssenkrupp AG is a German industrial group listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX), with its administrative headquarters in Essen/Duisburg, Germany. The company traces its industrial roots back more than 200 years through the historical Thyssen and Krupp legacies, two of the most recognisable names in German steel and engineering. Over time, thyssenkrupp has moved away from the classic conglomerate model toward a more focused industrial portfolio and a capital-allocation-driven structure. Its fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30. The group is currently organised into five main segments: Automotive Technology, Decarbon Technologies, Materials Services, Steel Europe and Marine Systems. Automotive Technology supplies components and systems to the automotive industry, while Materials Services covers materials distribution and related services. Steel Europe remains a major flat-steel player with strong exposure to automotive, construction and industrial end markets. Decarbon Technologies brings together solutions aimed at reducing emissions and supporting the energy transition, including hydrogen-related technologies and industrial decarbonisation. Marine Systems, now operating as TKMS as an independent listed company, highlights the group’s footprint in defence and naval systems, although thyssenkrupp AG still holds a majority stake. From a competitive standpoint, thyssenkrupp is positioned as a leading European industrial player, but with a more selective and streamlined profile than in the past. Its strengths lie in its German industrial base, engineering capabilities, materials expertise, steel know-how and complex systems integration. The group serves a global customer base with activity across Europe, North America and other key industrial regions. Its business mix combines cyclical end markets, such as steel and automotive, with more resilient or structurally attractive areas such as materials services, naval systems and decarbonisation technologies. Key products and services include automotive components, materials trading and distribution services, flat steel products, electrolysis and hydrogen technologies, and advanced naval systems. Recent milestones underline the strategic reset: in 2025, thyssenkrupp continued its transformation into a lighter holding structure; in October 2025, TKMS became an independent publicly listed company, with thyssenkrupp AG retaining a 51% stake; and the group also reported further progress on the restructuring of Steel Europe and on green technology initiatives. For international investors, thyssenkrupp remains a transformation story in German industrials, with cyclical exposure but also clear restructuring and decarbonisation catalysts.
