Brenntag SE is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 31943 Essen, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Essen, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Brenntag SE, 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.

Shareholders of Brenntag SE

One shareholder is currently on record for Brenntag SE, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG. The largest of these is Brachem Acquisition S.C.A., holding 100% — a majority holding. Because the shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Directors and officers of Brenntag SE

24 of the 97 officer records shown for Brenntag SE are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 71 records shown (Christian Kohlpaintner Ph.d., Christian Kohlpaintner and 61 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Brenntag SE 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 Brenntag SE

Brenntag SE has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 24 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 15 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.

  • MULTISOL (PTY) LTD (South Africa)
  • Brenntag Holding GmbH (Germany)
  • MULTISOL MAURITIUS LTD (Mauritius)
  • HCI Shipping NV (Curaçao)
  • ALLIANCE INGREDIENTS (Algeria)
  • H.C.I. (Curacao) N.V. (Curaçao)
  • Brenntag Puerto Rico , Inc. (United States)
  • Brenntag Canada Inc (Canada)
  • Colony Gums LLC (United States)
  • BRENNTAG BANGLADESH FORMULATION LTD (Bangladesh)

Data availability

Those 24 subsidiaries span Germany, South Africa, Mauritius, Curaçao, Algeria, United States, and 9 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 24 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.

Who owns Brenntag SE?

One shareholder is currently on record for Brenntag SE, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG. The largest of these is Brachem Acquisition S.C.A., holding 100% — a majority holding. Because the shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Who is Brenntag SE's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?

Every shareholder recorded for Brenntag SE is itself a company rather than a natural person, so no Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) is identified at this level; establishing one would require tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn.

How many shareholders does Brenntag SE have on record?

1 shareholder is shown on record for Brenntag SE.

What is Brenntag SE's company registration number?

Brenntag SE's registration number is HRB 31943 Essen, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) in Germany. Its current status on the register is active.

Is Brenntag SE still an active company?

Brenntag SE's status on Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is listed as active.

What is Brenntag SE's registered address?

The remaining 71 records shown (Christian Kohlpaintner Ph.d., Christian Kohlpaintner and 61 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at Brenntag SE sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

Does Brenntag SE have a parent company or subsidiaries?

Brenntag SE has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 24 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 15 jurisdictions. Those 24 subsidiaries span Germany, South Africa, Mauritius, Curaçao, Algeria, United States, and 9 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 24 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.

Can Zavia monitor changes to Brenntag SE's ownership over time?

This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Zavia's monitoring API can track changes to Brenntag SE's registered shareholders, officers, and group structure going forward, flagging updates as they're filed rather than requiring a manual recheck.

Can I access Brenntag SE's data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including Germany, so records like Brenntag SE's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.

Where does this company information come from, and how current is it?

This record is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last synced on 25 September 2026.
