history

ThyssenKrupp Nirosta was established in 1995 when the Krupp and Thyssen groups merged their Nirosta divisions. Within the former Thyssen group, the works in Krefeld and Witten were operated as the Thyssen-Edelstahlwerke (TEW) company.

ThyssenKrupp Nirosta was the largest single company of the former stainless steel division of ThyssenKrupp , which at that time was organized under the lead company ThyssenKrupp Stainless . In December 2012 ThyssenKrupp Stainless AG was sold to the Finnish group Outokumpu . In the course of this, ThyssenKrupp Stainless was given the new name Inoxum and ThyssenKrupp Nirosta has operated under the name Outokumpu Nirosta since then .

Outokumpu Nirosta's production sites are now in Krefeld ( ), Dahlerbrück and Dillenburg ( ). The Bochum ( ) site with the smelting plant was shut down in 2015. Around a year later, the Düsseldorf ( ) location was also closed, with machines and systems being relocated to Krefeld.
