Organizational and management structure
As part of the ongoing transformation of our company, since October 1, 2020 our business activities have been bundled in six segments: Materials Services, Industrial Components, Automotive Technology, Steel Europe, Marine Systems, and Multi Tracks – a new, independent segment in which we bundle businesses for which thyssenkrupp is considering a different ownership structure in the short- to mid-term.
The segments are generally divided into business units and operating units. The Marine Systems segment and the Bearings and Forged Technologies businesses combined in the Industrial Components segment are managed as business units directly by thyssenkrupp AG. As of September 30, 2022, 312 companies and 19 investments accounted for by the equity method are included in the consolidated financial statements; overall we consolidate companies from 48 countries.
Four regional platforms provide services required by the operating businesses in the various regions.
Moreover, effective October 1, 2020 our service units were combined in two companies, thyssenkrupp Services GmbH and thyssenkrupp Information Management GmbH, to provide crosscutting services to the businesses and Corporate Headquarters.
