International
ThyssenKrupp is a German corporation. We generate 36% of our consolidated sales on our home market, while customers outside Germany account for the remaining 64%. The rest of the EU (31%) and the NAFTA region (15%) are the key foreign regions for our business outside Germany.
ThyssenKrupp companies hold leading positions with their products in numerous international markets. The degree of internationalization in our Group is rising constantly in many areas: the Elevator segment generates more than 91% of its sales outside Germany, while the share of foreign sales at Technologies lies around 75%.
More than 199,000 people work for our Group worldwide. Our roughly 560 foreign subsidiaries and associated shareholdings have about 114,000 employees, which means that more than one in two ThyssenKrupp employees work outside Germany.
