innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | Turning CO2 into something valuable is exactly what our major Carbon2Chem project is all about. On September 20, 2018, thyssenkrupp officially started producing sustainable methanol from metallurgical gases at the Duisburg pilot plant – a green world premiere.

Company | 1,390 steps, 232 vertical meters and only the finish line in sight – the tower run at the thyssenkrupp test tower in Rottweil had even the most trained endurance athletes gasping for air. 700 runners faced the challenge and pushed themselves to their limits – and beyond. But for some of them, it’s more than that.

Automotive-sector | mobility of the future | In automobile construction, the future belongs to fast, agile development processes. The Modular Research Platform enables new chassis components to be tested at an early stage.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | trends of technology | The cloud-based predictive maintenance solution MAX is gradually finding its way into the daily work of our service technicians. Worldwide, 10 percent of the elevators we service are already connected to the MAX platform – soon it’ll be the turn of the first escalators.

Corporate culture | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | trends of technology | 18,631 kilometers lie between Christchurch in New Zealand and Essen. A trip takes at least 27 hours. It is time-consuming and certainly not always comfortable. But for „BeyondConventions“ the start-up Orbica has set off. And in the end, it wasn't just worth it for the young company.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | Engineering | innovation | mobility of the future | With a third high-rise test tower, thyssenkrupp is expanding its global innovation network. We spoke to Elevator CEO Andreas Schierenbeck about the iconic project and the importance of innovation in the elevator industry.
