BUSINESS AREAS AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE<br />

Capabilities, organizational structure <strong>and</strong> management responsibilities are key elements in the<br />

success of ThyssenKrupp. They are subject to continual review <strong>and</strong> adjusted where necessary<br />

to meet current requirements. Thus in summer <strong>2006</strong> the decision was made to integrate the<br />

Automotive operations in a reorganized Technologies segment.<br />

FROM 2008/2009, THE PARENT<br />

COMPANY WILL MOVE TO THE<br />

THYSSENKRUPP QUARTER IN ESSEN.<br />

CAPABILITIES<br />

ThyssenKrupp is a global group engaged in the areas of Steel, Capital Goods <strong>and</strong> Services. Our<br />

188,000 employees in over 70 countries develop <strong>and</strong> supply innovative products <strong>and</strong> services for the<br />

challenges of the future. In all segments they provide high-quality solutions to people’s needs <strong>and</strong><br />

customer requirements. Details of the capabilities of the segments can be found on pages 17-34.<br />

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE<br />

The ThyssenKrupp Group is run on a decentralized basis so that decisions are made as close to the<br />

market as possible. The segments, each led by segment holding companies, enjoy wide-ranging<br />

independence for all their market- <strong>and</strong> customer-oriented activities. The main tasks of ThyssenKrupp ag<br />

as Group parent include corporate strategy/portfolio management, risk management <strong>and</strong> central<br />

financing.<br />

Under its Articles of Association ThyssenKrupp ag is dual domiciled in Duisburg und Essen; most of<br />

its head office functions are located in Düsseldorf. From 2008/2009 the parent company is to relocate<br />

its offices to a new ThyssenKrupp Quarter being built in Essen. Details on the future Quarter can be<br />

found on pages 51-52. In addition, there are Group Representative Offices in Berlin <strong>and</strong> Brussels as well<br />

as at another 31 locations throughout the world.<br />
