thyssenkrupp Steel Europe is planning a far-reaching reorganization with drastic cuts by 2030.

A total of 5,000 jobs are to be cut and a further 6,000 jobs outsourced to external service providers.

This would reduce the current workforce of 27,000 to around 16,000.

At the same time, production capacities are to be reduced from 11.5 million to 8.7 to 9.0 million tons per year and personnel costs cut by an average of ten percent.


The announcement has triggered massive criticism. IG Metall speaks of a "clear cut" and announces fierce resistance, in particular against compulsory redundancies and site closures.

IG Metall district manager Knut Giesler emphasized that the planned measures were "a catastrophe" for employees and North Rhine-Westphalia as an industrial location. North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister President Hendrik Wüst also called for socially responsible implementation and urged Thyssenkrupp to live up to its responsibilities.


In response to the weak demand and high international competitive pressure, thyssenkrupp wants to make steel production more efficient.

A central point is the planned greater independence of the steel division.

The Czech energy supplier EPCG, which already holds 20 percent of the company, could increase its share to 50 percent.

Despite the savings, thyssenkrupp is sticking to its long-term focus on "green steel" as a technology of the future. -ntv
