This company needs a section in international bribery and corruption allegations. Starters might be political scandals arising from its agents in German politics (Kohl), French politics (Mitterand), Canadian politics (Mulroney and Schreiber), lately South African politics.Bcameron54 (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
How does one properly pronounce the name of the company? "Thigh-sun"? "Tie-sun"? "Thee-sun"? "Crup"? "Croop"? Perhaps someone could find a definitive answer on how to pronounce the company name and insert a simple pronunciation guide similar to many other pages I've seen.

Tiss En Crup. My father used to work for their American elevator division. Jmoasahkua (talk) 16:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

The correct pronunciation is [tysən krʊp]. t and p are slightly aspirated, the e is the mid-central vowel as in any non-accent syllable with e-vowel in German. The y is pronunced as the "Umlaut" ü, not i [ɪ], mybe a bit hard to pronunce in English, for it don't exist in this language as far as I know. It the same as the u in french when it occurs without an additional o. Or you could visit Essen and ride by the companies new headquater on the tramway lines 101, 103, 105 or 109. There you can hear it spoken cleary by a very and friendly woman's voice as often as you want. ;) 77.5.51.112 (talk) 19:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

mainly a poor article
Elevator price fixing scandals, italian accidents, south african arms deal, alabama factory. NO. That's not the whole company. So pls. let me state: quality of the article (demanded to evaluate) is extremely poor actually. To nominate some positive things against the pure negative impact of the article: TK is the only german stock exchance company which ist mainly owned by foundations for public welfare. The Von Bohlen und Halbach Stiftung and the Thyssen Stiftung (foundations) are both engaged in culture, sports, international youth exchange and education. After the 2nd world war the former Krupp part tried to avoid any involving in arms fabrication and arms deals. They've learned the lesson. ThyssenKrupp owns Ambi Budd, a reputation in the american car economy. TK owns Giddings & Lewis, a reputation in the american tools machine industry. The Thyssen engagement (together with Siemens) produced the first big maglev railway system (Shanghai Airport-Pudong). Before the actual economy (& steel) crisis and before the plans for new steel factories in Brazil & Alabama the TK comp was without any debts, after a history of >>100++ yrs of debts, debts... --80.145.189.197 (talk) 21:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Thyssen AG
It seems that there is no page for Thyssen AG - the link to Thyssen gives a disambiguation page, and "Thyssen AG" redirects to ThyssenKrupp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.33.189 (talk) 23:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

negative info removed-possible conflict of interest
The controversies that were removed were very significant. This companny was given one of the largest fines ever for price fixing. Also several managers and executives were charged with murder. This is far from a common thing and should be included.It was more than balanced as it did not contain many other controversies,such as enviromental damage,death threats, discrimination lawsuits,and patent lawsuits. Wikipedia reccomends adding info to balance it out if you think it is needed. They do not reccomend removing info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.114.134.179 (talk) 17:28, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
