AI platform optimizes material nesting for less waste
Automated pricing of blanks now available at the click of a button
Integration with new Max Cochius online shop saves material, costs and time
thyssenkrupp Materials Services has developed an AI platform that digitizes the nesting process – the intelligent placement of blanks on sheet metal – and the pricing process. It is called smart.processing and is integrated into the new online shop of Max Cochius, one of the leading metal distribution providers in Germany. Thanks to smart.processing, Max Cochius customers can purchase material in any desired free-form 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from anywhere. By optimally placing the blanks, smart.processing minimizes material consumption and therefore costs.
The world's leading aluminum trade fair ALUMINIUM will open its doors in Düsseldorf, Germany, from October 8-10, 2024. thyssenkrupp Schulte and thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe are pleased to present their comprehensive solutions, services and products at this international event. The subsidiaries of thyssenkrupp Materials Services are placing a clear focus on sustainability.For example, thyssenkrupp Schulte is able to provide its customers with CO2-reduced alternatives to conventional materials at short notice for all aluminum materials. The key to this is a PCF certificate based on the best data quality, which can be used to verify the CO2 footprint “from cradle to gate” for every aluminum product, i.e. from raw material extraction to the factory gate. In this way, the company is meeting an important need of its customers: In particular, the ability to determine the ecological footprint of their own products will become increasingly relevant for the metal processing industry in the future.
In a strategic step to further develop the thyssenkrupp Materials Services segment, thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe is taking over the 2A business from thyssenkrupp Stahlkontor as of October 1, 2024. This move is aimed at achieving greater efficiency for the entire segment through synergy effects.
thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe, a specialist in the service center sector, already trades in declassified cold-rolled strip and surface-coated material. By expanding its product portfolio to include declassified hot-rolled strip, the company will be able to offer its customers an even more comprehensive range from a single source. thyssenkrupp Stahlkontor will continue its other business activities unchanged.
The company and its German subsidiaries are among the best employers of 2024.

As one of the world's leading mill-independent materials distributors and service providers, thyssenkrupp Materials Services is one of 173 German employers to receive the award this year.
thyssenkrupp Materials Services particularly impressed the jury in the areas of employer brand, talent acquisition, well-being, ethics and integrity, sustainability, and employee feedback.

On Wednesday, September 25, thyssenkrupp MillServices & Systems inaugurated its new training center. The new 800 square meter facility in Oberhausen, Germany, offers space for more than 40 apprentices. As part of the celebrations, the Unternehmerverband, a German employers' association, honored thyssenkrupp MillServices & Systems for its special achievements in training.
The training center and welding shop of thyssenkrupp MillServices & Systems, a leading provider of industrial services, has moved from its previous location on Hagelkreuzstraße to the former Air Liquide site on Lipperfeld in Oberhausen, Germany. The move, which included an expansion of the workshop, was necessary because the number of apprentices at the company has more than doubled in recent years. This year alone, 30 new apprentices joined the existing 57 in August and September. After a five-month renovation phase of the new premises and the purchase of new lathes and milling machines, the entire 18-month basic training course for construction and industrial mechanics can now take place in one place before the apprentices move on to the company modules. This means that thyssenkrupp MillServices & Systems is no longer dependent on an external training partner, but can now carry out the entire training itself.
