ThyssenKrupp Steel is the only<br />
steel company worldwide under-<br />
taking growth investment to fo-<br />
cus on the highly profitable seg-<br />
ment of high-end carbon steel fl at<br />
products. To this end the erection of<br />
a steel mill in Brazil with an annual<br />
capacity of 5 million tonnes of slabs<br />
is underway to underpin its mar-<br />
ket strategies for Europe and the<br />
NAFTA region. In addition the com-<br />
pany is building a plant in south-<br />
eastern USA and expanding its<br />
capacities in Europe to process<br />
the slabs from Brazil. The capital<br />
expenditure for these projects will<br />
amount to more than € 6 billion.<br />

10 years ago, in March 1997, Thyssen<br />
and Krupp agreed to merge their<br />
carbon steel flat products opera-<br />
tions. The company started out as<br />
ThyssenKrupp Stahl AG on the 1st<br />
of September. At that time they<br />
were pioneers in the consolida-<br />
tion of the European steel industry,<br />
and it has paid off. In fiscal year<br />
2006/2007 the ThyssenKrupp<br />
Group achieved its best results<br />
since the merger in 1999 with pre-<br />
tax profi ts of € 3.3 billion on sales<br />
of € 51.1 billion. The Steel segment<br />
played a major role in this successful<br />
performance. With around 40,000<br />
employees they expanded its sales<br />
by 9 per cent to € 13.2 billion. EBT<br />
increased by 18 per cent to more than<br />
€ 1.5 billion.<br />
