VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

Active

in

VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 728059 Ulm, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Ellwangen Jagst, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 11 September 2026.

Shareholders of VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

The largest of these is Vanguard Tax Managed Fund-Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund, holding 99.9% — a majority holding — followed by Pacer Advisors, Inc. at 0.1%.

Directors and officers of VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

Five of the 26 officer records shown for VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 20 records shown (Michael Tojner, Markus Hackstein and 16 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

Group structure of VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

VARTA AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 2 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction.

  • VCB HoldCo 1
  • VARTA CONSUMER BATTERIES UK LIMITED

Data availability

Those 2 subsidiaries span Germany jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. One of the 2 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
