thyssenkrupp Materials Services is a global leader in materials distribution and services. That means: There is hardly anything in our everyday lives that has not been supplied, processed or moved by our employees. We ensure that day after day cars can come off the production line, buildings can be built, plants can be manufactured and aircraft can take off. How do we do that? We trade materials, process them, and offer supply chain services. Materials Services plans to reach “net zero” by 2040. Our 16,000 employees make it happen. They are located in 380 locations across more than 30 countries, primarily in Europe and North America. Join us now!
