Data-provider feed — rows as supplied to Zavia for Handelsregister (Commercial Register), including entries the profile above does not cover. These rows are not a verbatim copy of the register: they have been found to duplicate the same person under different spellings and to keep a status of Active after an appointment ended. Where they disagree with the profile above, the profile is the checked version.
Group Structure
Group structure of Carl Zeiss AG
Carl Zeiss AG sits 1 level below its ultimate parent, Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, registered in Germany. 40 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 16 jurisdictions. The full chain up to Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Carl Zeiss AG's own shareholder record. 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.

Those 40 subsidiaries span Germany, Poland, Malaysia, United States, Colombia, Canada, and 10 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. 11 of the 40 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
