ThyssenKrupp worldwide

As an international group, we speak many languages: More than half of our employees and two thirds of our customers are located outside Germany. Key locations are to be found above all in our neighboring European countries. But we also see significant opportunities in North America, Asia and the emerging nations of other regions. Dynamism, performance and a willingness to improve on tried and tested solutions are features characterizing the work of our plants and branches around the world. For example, our ThyssenKrupp best value enhancement program has now produced almost 10,000 projects with many new ideas to strengthen the Group and its basis for the future.

All details relate to the 2008/2009 fiscal year, Annual Report, as of
