ThyssenKrupp is a german industrial conglomerate and global supplier of materials - these include stainless steel, titanium and other exotic metals. They are OEM for several suppliers we source extensively at work. Not sure if they are direct manufacturer for the part in the e-bay ad, I would suggest the maker is a 'second tier' supplier.

In other words, they would supply the raw materials for the manufacturer to produce parts - these could in turn supply MB.
TK also have a manufacturing base for conveyors, elevators, test equipment and special machine tools.

One other point - the advert mis-spells the name, it is Thy .. not Ty .. this always rings an alarm bell with me, however it could just be a typo, we're all guilty of those.

It doesn't surprise me, Dave

They are big on quality, so should be a name to trust.
