BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's second-largest defence group Thyssenkrupp (ETR:TKAG) Marine Systems (TKMS) wants to play a leading role in consolidating the German and European shipyard industry, its new Chief Executive Officer told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
"If the road to a European giant is still too difficult, a German champion could be formed first," Oliver Burkhard was quoted by the newspaper as saying.
Burkhard said a merger, for example, could be formed with smaller German rivals Luerssen and German Naval Yards (GNYK).
The company has been building up additional capacity since the German government's announcement of a 100 billion euro special fund for the military after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Burkhard added.
"We are also actively looking for new production sites. There are a number of possibilities," he said, adding that the company was interested in buying parts of cruise ship builder MV Werften, which filed for insolvency in January this year.
