ThyssenKrupp Services stands for customer-focused supply and process services.

In North America, ThyssenKrupp Services will exploit the more favorable economic conditions compared with Europe and develop more business there. ThyssenKrupp Services already holds a leading position in high-quality materials. The aim is to significantly increase the proportion of service-based sales. In addition, IT-based business with customers and suppliers is to be intensified. More and more customers are concentrating on their core business and outsourcing other tasks to reliable service partners.
