The Supervisory Board of ThyssenKrupp Steel has appointed Georgios Giovanakis as Chief Sales Officer to the Executive Board. This personnel decision comes at a time when the steel corporation is under considerable transformation pressure and must realign its sales structures. For building materials dealers and planners who rely on stable flat steel supply for facades, trapezoidal sheets or steel construction, it remains to be seen whether the new appointment will stabilize supply chains and terms.
