According to a newspaper report, the Thyssenkrupp industrial group surprisingly prefers the contract extension of CEO Miguel Lopez.

The Thyssenkrupp Supervisory Board will vote on the personnel at its meeting next Friday, the Bild newspaper writes, citing group circles. Originally, the vote was only planned for September.

According to the picture, a sure -fire success does not become the extension and the employee representatives could be right against it. The vote of chief supervisor Siegfried Russwurm then becomes crucial, because in the event of a patient situation, he has a legally stipulated right of the right.

A spokesman said that an extension is planned for this year and the group would deal with it at the given time.

Thyssenkrupp is considering the majority of the steel business

The industrial group Thyssenkrupp could separate from the majority of its steel division in the course of its profound conversion. When asked whether the Co-owner EP Group of the Czech entrepreneur Daniel Kretinsky could increase his participation beyond the previously planned half of the shares, said Thyssenkrupp boss Miguel Lopez in the interview of the “Welt am Sonntag”: “First of all, Thyssenkrupp Steel has to negotiate the transformation of the steel area with the employee representatives. thereafter.” So far, only the reduction in the participation of 80 to 50 percent has been in the room.

The latter should “lose time without further time, but in the correct order”, Lopez continued. “First of all, we have to restructure the area. Therefore, the steel board negotiates with the works council and IG Metall. Then we will take the next steps towards a 50:50 joint venture.”

The long crising MDAX group takes a profound conversion. The steel division Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe November wants to reduce the number of jobs by 11,000 to 16,000 within six years, as was announced at the end of last year. In addition, – possibly in autumn 2025 – the marine division under the TKMS brand is pending.

In the current conversation with the “Welt am Sonntag”, Lopez also outlined the planned order from future outsourcing from the Thyssenkrupp group: “In my view, this will be material services and then automotive after the split off a minority share of TKMS in the coming years.” For this, their capital market ability must first be produced. “In the third area, Decarbon Technologies, we assume that the green markets will only take a speed later than initially intended.”
