ThyssenKrupp Services Establishes Mill Services Group

ThyssenKrupp Services AG is bundling its steel mill-related services under a new company by the name of ThyssenKrupp MillServices & Systems GmbH. The new company merges the former DSU Gesellschaft für Dienstleistungen und Umwelttechnik, GVD Gesellschaft für Verpackungstechnik und Dienstleistungen, Nickel, ThyssenKrupp Anlagenservice and ThyssenKrupp Rema, effective As from October 1, 2008.
 
ThyssenKrupp MillServices & Systems will be a highly capable engineering services provider with strong proficiency in the metal-producing and manufacturing industries as well as other sectors with complex production processes. Customers include notable steel makers such as ArcelorMittal, Corus, Salzgitter, Deutsche Edelstahlwerke and of course ThyssenKrupp. The company also serves producers and processors of nonferrous metals as Hydro Aluminium, industry plant and equipment manufacturers such as SMS and Siemens VAI, and sheet-metal processors.

The new company’s product portfolio embraces the entire value-adding chain, from slag management via in-plant logistics and materials handling to in-production support and maintenance, packaging and project business. Customers will benefit from the company’s all-in single-source service concept from a supplier commanding longstanding experience. In all these areas the Company provides round-the-clock availability and high standards in terms of occupational safety and environmental protection, backed by internationally certified safety and quality standards.

"This ‘full-service menu’ for all production areas—such as we provide—is unavailable elsewhere and this competitive edge we intend to strategically exploit in expanding our business, in Germany and Europe as well as Brazil and North America," commented CEO Jörg Stojan.
 
Formation of the new company is subject to approval by the German federal Cartel Office.


ThyssenKrupp MillServices & Systems
has a workforce of around 2200 in Europe and sales of over €250 million. The registered office is in Duisburg, and headquarters for the new company will be Oberhausen.
