Thyssenkrupp said Tuesday that Bernhard Osburg has been appointed new chairman of the board of its steel division in Europe.
Mr. Osburg--chief commercial officer at Thyssenkrupp steel Europe since 2019--succeeds Premal Desai who will step down on Feb. 29.
"Due to differing views on the direction of the steel business a mutual agreement on the separation was reached," the German industrial company said about the departure of Mr. Desai.
