“Thyssenkrupp is facing major changes,” said Merz. “In this important phase the executive board needs a supervisory board that ensures stable support. To chair the Supervisory Board at this stage is a responsible task which I take on with respect.
“Now it’s about successfully implementing Thyssenkrupp’s new strategy. At the same time, businesses must remain competitive with their products and services; in the interest of employees, customers and shareholders.”
Merz has decades of management experience in industry, including as a member of the board of the Chassis System Brakes division of Bosch.
Since 2015 the qualified mechanical engineer is a member of various supervisory boards as an independent management consultant, including Lufthansa and Swedish truck manufacturer Volvo.
