据路透社在欧洲新闻网发布消息称蒂森克虏伯CEO Guido Kerkhoff向某德国报纸媒体表示目前公司没有计划出售其电梯部门。Guido Kerkhoff告诉莱茵日报，把一个庞大的公司分为两个部门会更有利于夯实股本和资本基础。蒂森克虏伯现在正准备收回电梯、汽车部件和设备工程部门的资本，并将其设置为一个独立实体thyssenkrupp Industrials，而原有的业务——原材料贸易，造船，锻造，及其在印度塔塔钢铁公司India's Tata Steel的股份——将更名为thyssenkrupp Materials。Guido Kerkhoff说到，电梯部门是蒂森克虏伯最赚钱的一个部门，将对美洲的业务进行深度重组，其中包括“美洲区领导层的变动”。

　　TK CHIEF SAYS ELEVATOR DIVISION NOT FOR SALE

　　thyssenkrupp CEO Guido Kerkhoff told a German newspaper that the company has no plans to sell its elevator division, according to a Reuters report posted on Euronews.com. Kerkhoff, speaking to the Rheinische Post, said a plan to split the giant company into two separate divisions should boost its equity and capital base. thyssenkrupp is currently preparing to spin off its elevators, car-parts and plant-engineering divisions into a separately listed entity, thyssenkrupp Industrials, while its remaining businesses — materials trading, shipbuilding, forging and a stake in a joint venture with India's Tata Steel — will be renamed thyssenkrupp Materials. Kerkhoff said the elevator division, thyssenkrupp's most profitable, would undergo deep restructuring of its Americas business, which would “include personnel changes at the leadership level there," Kerkhoff said.
