VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH
VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 28788 Köln, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Köln, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH, 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 25 September 2026.

The Geschäftsführer (managing director) of VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH currently on record is Peter Schramm; eight of the 21 officer records shown for VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 10 records shown (Gero F. Poppe, Hans Schüngel and 7 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
