ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and PSI Conclude Strategic Partnership
PSImetals as standard software for the entire Business Area Steel Europe

The ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG and PSI Metals have concluded an agreement
on the development of PSI to become the standard software provider for all
the companies within the Business Area Steel Europe.

ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe plans to standardise the system landscape in the
entire Business Area with the rollout of the PSI software PSImetals and
thus increase the competitiveness of the Business Area. To that end the
processes and interfaces are to be standardised by means of the greatest
possible use of the standard functions and interfaces available in
PSImetals.

Additional effects of scale will be achieved by establishing a standardised
project management, extending PSImetals know-how within the Business Area
and uniform licensing, maintenance and service agreements throughout the
group. The two partners will agree upon a joint long-term strategy that
will especially take into consideration the areas of project development
and process support.

ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe is one of the world's leading suppliers of
high-grade flat steel. With around 26,500 employees, the company supplies
high-quality steel products for innovative and demanding applications in a
wide range of industries. Customer-specific material solutions and services
associated with the material steel round off the range of services. In
fiscal year 2013/14 ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe achieved a turnover of almost
8.9 billion Euros.

On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates
complete solutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat,
energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive,
mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for
transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,700 persons
worldwide. www.psi.de
