About thyssenkrupp — 213 Years of Engineering Precision

From a small Ruhr Valley steel forge in 1811 to a global industrial conglomerate serving 40+ countries — our commitment to material quality and engineering integrity has never wavered.

Our Story

Two Centuries of Industrial Leadership

thyssenkrupp traces its origins to 1811, when Friedrich Krupp established a cast steel factory in Essen, Germany. Over two centuries, through mergers, industrial revolutions, and the transformation of global construction, the business evolved into one of the world's leading technology and industrial companies.

Today, thyssenkrupp Materials International operates a global network of steel service centers, elevator systems divisions, and specialty processing facilities — each operating under the same uncompromising quality management standards that defined the company's reputation across its history.

Our B2B materials division serves procurement teams, structural engineers, and project managers with certified flat steel, long products, stainless alloys, and elevator systems — backed by the technical depth and supply chain breadth that only a truly global industrial group can deliver.

What We Stand For

Our Operating Principles

Three principles that govern every material specification, every customer interaction, and every investment decision at thyssenkrupp.

Certified Quality, Zero Compromise

Every product we supply carries traceable material documentation — mill test reports, chemical analysis, mechanical property records, and third-party inspection certificates. Quality is not a feature. It is the baseline.

Engineering Depth, Not Just Distribution

Our technical sales team includes qualified metallurgists and structural engineers who can advise on grade selection, welding procedure qualification, and corrosion protection strategy — not just quote delivery times and prices.

Long-Term Partnership Over Single Transactions

We structure supply agreements around your project pipeline, not individual purchase orders. Frame agreements, consignment stock, and dedicated account management reduce your administrative burden and guarantee supply continuity.
