Entry into the marine business: Thyssenkrupp is examining a cooperation with US financial investor Carlyle. Selling shares should also be possible.
The planned independence of the marine business TKMS of the industrial group Thyssenkrupp is taking shape. The company is examining a cooperation with the US financial investor Carlyle, Thyssenkrupp announced in Essen. An in-depth audit has been agreed, which could result in a possible partial sale of Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS).
A possible share sale is one of several options, Thyssenkrupp confirmed. The examination of further capital market options will continue. At the same time, discussions are reportedly ongoing with the federal government regarding the state’s participation in Thyssenkrupp’s marine business. Last year, the supervisory board gave the green light for TKMS, based in Kiel, to become independent.
