Friedrich Krupp AG was a German heavy industry company based in Essen, Germany. It emerged at the beginning of the 20th century from the Krupp family business. The official spelling found on shares, letterheads, etc. was Fried. Krupp AG. The acquisition of a majority stake in Hoesch AG in 1992 formed Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp. Since the merger with Thyssen AG in 1999, the company has been part of ThyssenKrupp AG.
