thyssenkrupp is undergoing a transformation: the business divisions are being progressively made independent and opened up to third-party investment. As a result, thyssenkrupp AG is evolving from an integrated industrial group into a lean financial holding company. Under its umbrella, strong and independent companies with their own management, clear strategic direction, and full responsibility for their results are intended to operate.
This move toward independence enables the companies to respond more quickly to their markets, invest in a targeted manner, and gain access to external capital. thyssenkrupp AG aims to remain the majority shareholder in most areas and to focus on portfolio management.
For the AG, this realignment means reduced complexity, more efficient structures, and a lower financing requirement. At the same time, the performance and value of the companies become more transparent. This allows the holding company to deploy its capital in a targeted way and to participate in the success of its investments through dividends and value appreciation.
