Thyssenkrupp Advances Spin-Off While Scheduling Blast Furnace Overhaul
Thyssenkrupp is moving toward a concrete milestone for a planned spin-off of its materials trading arm, with a 1 new share for every 20 existing shares held by shareholders. The company expects a commercial register entry for tk accelis at the end of October, followed by a Frankfurt listing. Separately, Thyssenkrupp Steel has started a scheduled partial overhaul of the Schwelgern 2 blast furnace in Duisburg, while talks with Jindal Steel International on a stake have been paused due to changed divestment assumptions.
