Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe has unveiled an extensive restructuring plan that will dramatically reshape its workforce and production capacity over the coming years. The steel giant aims to reduce its employee count from 27,000 to 16,000, representing a reduction of 11,000 positions by 2030. This substantial downsizing includes the direct elimination of 5,000 jobs and the outsourcing of an additional 6,000 positions. The restructuring also involves scaling back annual steel production from 11.5 million tons to approximately 9 million tons, as the company grapples with persistent global competition pressures and market overcapacity.
Green Steel Transformation Continues
Despite these significant cost-cutting measures, Thyssenkrupp remains committed to its environmental transformation goals. The company is proceeding with the construction of its direct reduction facility in Duisburg for „green steel“ production, supported by €2 billion in government funding from federal and state sources. This strategic pivot towards sustainable steel production occurs alongside ongoing discussions with Czech energy corporation EPCG, which is expected to increase its stake to 50 percent as part of the steel division’s path to independence.
