adidas AG
adidas AG is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 3868 Fürth, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Herzogenaurach, Germany. 3 shareholders are on record for adidas AG, 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.
Registration details
Officers
222
Directors and officers of adidas AG
40 of the 222 officer records shown for adidas AG are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 170 records shown (Gulden Bjorn, Markus Morent and 163 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at adidas AG 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.
Data availability
The register reports 227 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 222 most relevant records are shown here.
Group Structure
Group structure of adidas AG
adidas AG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 58 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 41 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Data availability
Those 58 subsidiaries span Germany, Japan, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Norway, and 35 more jurisdictions, 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. Six of the 58 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
