Business areas and segments

Three main business areas – Steel, Capital Goods and Services – with five segments – Steel, Automotive, Elevator, Technologies and Services – mark out the competencies of ThyssenKrupp. Added to this comes our Real Estate business. Focusing our activities in the segments ensures closeness to markets and customers, and guarantees that our Group strategy and tailored segment strategies are strictly implemented. All the segments are well positioned on the world market, but we intend to continue focusing them on their core businesses and expanding their technological lead. Cross-segment synergies are becoming increasingly key to success in the future.
