Brenntag SE
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.

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.

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.
