FRANKFURT/DUESSELDORF - German ailing conglomerate Thyssenkrupp is in talks with international peers about consolidating its loss-making steel business, a person familiar with the matter said. The talks, to be unveiled as part of a strategy revamp on Monday which is likely to include shutting or selling assets, follow a 372 million euro loss Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe, Germany’s largest steelmaker, posted in the first half of the group’s fiscal year.

Ever since a strategy u-turn a year ago, which saw Thyssenkrupp dropping plans for a joint venture with India’s Tata Steel in favour of a sale of its prized elevator unit, the group continued to champion the merits of steel consolidation. Sources told Reuters that contact between Thyssenkrupp and Tata Steel never broke off and that both were still in talks about consolidation.
