THYSSENKRUPP AG's steel division aims to triple core profit to at least €1.2B ($1.4B) over the mid-term. The turnaround plan relies on deep job cuts and tighter trade barriers protecting European manufacturers from cheap Asian imports. The overhaul prepares Europe's second-largest steelmaker for a potential spin-off by 2027.
