In the mid-nineties, to keep the Lufthansa Group competitive, it was broken up into seven separate operating divisions. At the end of 1994, shortly before the 40th birthday of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, its former engineering division was converted into an independent stock corporation under the name Lufthansa Technik. The latter’s business with customers outside the Lufthansa Group became its engine of growth. More and more airlines from all over the world began using the services of Lufthansa Technik's experienced mechanics and engineers. The company opened up a new market with its Total Technical Support (TTS®).
