German industries to create a consortium for raw material supplies

According to a report published on the website aluplanet.com, Germany-based steel company ThyssenKrupp plans to create a consortium - to be called Deutsche Rohstoff AG - between the main German metals industries in order to ensure supplies of raw materials through the acquisition of projects and/or mining rights. The goal of this consortium is to obtain self-sufficiency in terms of raw material supplies for Germany.
