Organizational and management structure

As part of the further transformation of our company, our business activities have been combined into five segments since October 1, 2023: Automotive Technology, Decarbon Technologies, Materials Services, and the units to be spun off Steel Europe and Marine Systems.

In the Decarbon Technologies segment we combine the businesses which have key technologies for the green transformation: thyssenkrupp rothe erde, thyssenkrupp Uhde, thyssenkrupp Polysius and thyssenkrupp nucera.

The segments are generally organized into business units and further into operating units. As of September 30, 2022 the Group's financial statements include 312 companies and 19 investments accounted for using the equity method; in total we consolidate companies from 48 countries.

Four regional platforms provide services required by the operating businesses in the respective regions.

In addition, since October 1, 2020 our service units have been combined in the two companies thyssenkrupp Services GmbH and thyssenkrupp Information Management GmbH and provide overarching services for the businesses and headquarters.
