ThyssenKrupp: Management change in the Industrial Solutions business area
Jens Michael Wegmann takes over as CEO and board chairman
The Industrial Solutions business area with its four business units Resource Technologies, Process Technologies, System Engineering and Marine Systems offers promising long-term market opportunities on account of its broad technology portfolio and international positioning. To make increased use of these opportunities in a more challenging market environment, Industrial Solutions has initiated a comprehensive transformation and growth program. The aim for the recently combined large-scale plant engineering business (Resource Technologies and Process Technologies) is to collaborate more effectively in addressing markets and customers as well as to exploit competitive advantages provided by closer integration between regions and operating businesses. Among other things sales efforts are to be strengthened and the share of high-margin service business increased. Marine Systems is competing to win a number of major projects and at the same time working on a high order backlog. This calls for an increased focusing of the Industrial Solutions management board.
