Tenth world steel producer, with 16.5 million tonnes produced in one year, ThyssenKrupp means more that never paste back to the forefront of the steel producers by buying the Canadian Dofasco, now subsidiary of Arcelor. A delicate transaction for which Ekkehard Schulz, the Chairman of its Board of Directors, said Friday to be ready to go to justice.
"In the worst case, we do not exclude a judicial issue", he said, with many on the U.S. Department of Justice to unblock the situation before April 2007. ThyssenKrupp has indeed signed a contract for the Dofasco purchase expires on that date with Mittal. Problem: during the battle between Arcelor and Mittal, Dofasco has been placed in a Dutch Foundation and its assignment appears to be blocked.

ThyssenKrupp has the means to invest in any case. "The year 2005-2006 fiscal year was the highest since the merger between Thyssen and Krupp, which dates from 1999." "The Group has undoubtedly benefited from the current health of the steel sector," noted Friday Ekkehard Schulz, by presenting the results. Results in strong growth over the previous year. Turnover, indeed, rose by 9.8, to EUR 47.1 billion, and net income by 58 to 1.7 billion. A dynamic linked largely to the current tone of steel and stainless steel. "Even strength grew, reaching the figure of 187.586 employees, despite more important than acquisitions divestments", was held to clarify the Vice-President of the Executive Board, Ulrich Middelmann.
