Jens Wegmann stands down as CEO of Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions

16 November 2016

Germany: Jens Michael Wegmann is standing down as CEO of Thyssenkrupp’s Industrial Solutions division with immediate effect and leaving the company. Wegmann accepted a golden bracelet for his wife from a Pakistani business partner, according to Reuters.

“I made a mistake which I greatly regret and I am now paying the consequences. I realise that my conduct in my dealings with a sales partner was not in line with Thyssenkrupp’s values and that I can no longer credibly drive the necessary changes at Industrial solutions. For this reason I am standing down as CEO of Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions – irrespective of legal issues and the findings of the on-going internal investigation. I would like to wish all employees the very best for the future and every success in the continuing implementation of the transformation,” said Wegmann in a statement.

Stefan Gesing, chief financial officer of Industrial Solutions, will assume Jens Michael Wegmann’s duties and serve as chair of the business area board on an acting basis. The group will decide on a permanent successor in a structured process.

The 4500t/day line will be built at the Schelklingen cement plant in Baden-Württemberg as a replacement for an existing older production line. Start of production is planned for spring 2018.

“Although most of the cement contracts we have been awarded recently have been to build new production capacities in growth regions, this order shows that there is also demand in Europe to modernize and expand existing facilities. Our highly efficient technologies, which we continually improve together with our customers, guarantee maximum reliability and allow producing innovative products in an economical and environmentally friendly way,” said Lothar Jungemann, CEO of the Cement operating unit in the Resource Technologies business unit of ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions.

For the new kiln line ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions will supply components including a five-stage, single-strand DOPOL preheater, a POLRO rotary kiln with a POLGUIDE drive system and a POLYTRACK clinker cooler with roll crusher. The design of the calciner used in the preheater is intended to allow high fuel burnout with low nitrogen oxide emissions.

The two lines with an overall cement capacity of 20,000t/day will be built at a new site around 80km east of the capital Riyadh. The value of the contract is in the high three-digit million Euro range. It is the largest cement contract ever secured by thyssenkrupp.

Jens Michael Wegmann, CEO of the Industrial Solutions business area of thyssenkrupp said, "Our partnership with Yamama is built on a longstanding tradition and dates back many decades. We are delighted that Yamama is once again putting its faith in our comprehensive experience in the turnkey construction of complete cement plants worldwide."

The main components include two mobile primary crushers for limestone (each 1800t/hr throughput), three crushers for additives (each 500t/hr), two crushers for correctives (each 100t/hr) as well as two circular blending beds for limestone, each with a capacity of 80,000t and various additive storage facilities. Four QUADROPOL QMR2 roller mills with a throughput of 425t/hr and two 35,000t capacity homogenizing silos will be used to grind and store the raw material.

The kiln lines comprise six-stage and two-string preheaters with PREPOL AS-MSC calciner, rotary kilns with POLFLAME-VN clinkering zone burners, and POLYTRACK clinker coolers. The clinker will be stored in three 10,000t capacity clinker silos and two 100,000t capacity clinker storage facilities.

thyssenkrupp launches new brand identity

23 November 2015

Germany: In the future, thyssenkrupp will use one common brand the world over. The redevelopment of the brand reflects the transformation of the technology company to a diversified industrial group.

"thyssenkrupp has changed in recent years. We are a different company today. We have become more diversified and, as a result, more stable," said Heinrich Hiesinger, CEO of thyssenkrupp. "However, we are not yet perceived everywhere as the high-performance industrial group we are and want to become even more. That's why we decided to redevelop the brand," said Communications Chief Alexander Wilke.

The new brand puts a stronger focus on customers. It communicates the company's positioning as a diversified industrial group and its aspiration to work in an integrated way, leveraging internal synergies and creating added value for customers, employees and shareholders. The new branding is based on a survey of more than 6000 customers, employees, applicants, investors, works council members, public figures and consumers.

The new brand condenses what thyssenkrupp stands for in a logo, a slogan and new colours. "But these are only the visible elements of our brand. At its core is our brand promise – because it places the focus on customers and says how we want to advance them," said Wilke. "The new brand does not mean that we have reached the end of our transformation. But it is designed to give a further boost to our change process both inside and outside the company," said Hiesinger.

Over 180 different brand identities currently exist side-by-side within the group. The single brand will create a unified image among customers and employees. thyssenkrupp will introduce the new brand gradually and in accordance with the company's financial situation. Service vehicles, trucks used by the logistics unit, office stationery, work clothes, among others, will only appear in the new brand look when they would normally have been replaced at the end of their service lives.
