So we continue to get things done. Develop ourselves. Improve ourselves. Look ahead. Because standing still is moving backward. Let's move toward change. Not just as colleagues, but as a team. Determined to do our best. For thyssenkrupp, but also for ourselves. In doing so, we are connected by exciting and important projects, experiences and stories. With diverse businesses all over the world. This is us – the #GENERATIONTK.

Rearranging? This is what we do.

Who we are

No room for outdated thinking: Time for clear processes and structures. Just because something “has always been done that way” at thyssenkrupp, doesn’t mean, we can’t do it better. Faster, simpler and more agile! Time to clear our heads to create space for fresh thinking and new ideas. A challenge for the whole #GENERATIONTK.

Innovative? Naturally!

Our mission statement

We continue to pave the way for future success stories in various engineering fields, ranging from chemical, automotive, refinery or coking plants to other industrial facilities. Every day, develop new concepts that give our client’s products the market debut they deserve. Our customized digital solutions enable, among others, groundbreaking automatization, complete supply chains and much more. Together, we're starting new successful chapters – and moving forward full of innovative technologies, passion and a winning team spirit. We are on the right track to make thyssenkrupp successful again.
