To our stockholders

Sustainably enhancing a company's competitiveness and value brings advantages for all its stakeholders. We made further progress towards this goal in fiscal 2005/2006, both operationally and strategically. This was reflected in our share price: ThyssenKrupp's shares gained 53% in the reporting year. And all of us – Executive Board, Supervisory Board and around 190,000 employees worldwide – are working hard to ensure this success story continues.
