GERMAN industrial and technology group Thyssenkrupp said on Wednesday that first-quarter operating profit rose by more than a third, boosted by a recovery at its steel unit, which is to be merged with Tata Steel's European operations.

Operating profit at Thyssen-krupp's Steel Europe division rose nearly six times to 160 million euros (S$261 million) due to improved prices that also led Tata Steel and market leader ArcelorMittal to post strong results in recent weeks.
