Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is reportedly interested in German thyssenkrupp’s steel business. Thyssenkrupp is looking to divest its steel producing arm since early this year, after shelving this plan last year. Kretinsky’s holding company Energeticky a Prumyslovy Holding might supply energy to thyssenkrupp’s steel unit.
Other interested parties are Emirates Steel Arkan, Brazil's CSN and the financial investor CVC, according to sources.
