Shareholders
Shareholders of CATERINGPOR – CATERING DE PORTUGAL, S.A.
As of 14 April 2026, CATERINGPOR – CATERING DE PORTUGAL, S.A. is wholly owned by gategroup (trading as Gate Gourmet), a Switzerland-headquartered airline-catering group, according to gategroup’s own acquisition announcement and Portuguese business press (Diário de Notícias, RTP). Gate Gourmet had already held a 49% minority stake in the company since 2020; it acquired the remaining 51% from TAP, S.A. (Transportes Aéreos Portugueses, S.A.) after TAP launched a public tender on 30 December 2025 for 357,000 shares (nominal value €5 each, a base price of €9.6 million), for which Gate Gourmet was the sole bidder, with the sale completing on 13–14 April 2026 for a price of approximately €1.78 million. Before this transaction, the 51% majority stake had been held directly by TAP, S.A., following an internal transfer from TAP’s former holding company (renamed Siavilo SGPS, S.A., later declared insolvent) completed in January 2025 as part of TAP’s EU-mandated restructuring plan. Portugal’s central commercial registry does not itself publish a shareholder register or beneficial-ownership (RCBE) filing content for this company that was accessible for this review, so this overview relies on gategroup’s own disclosure and corroborating Portuguese press reporting.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. The current 100% gategroup ownership and the preceding TAP, S.A. majority shareholding are confirmed through gategroup’s own acquisition announcement and multiple independent Portuguese business-press sources, but no primary share register or RCBE filing was accessible for this review, and no individual ultimate beneficial owner could be reliably identified for either gategroup or CATERINGPOR – CATERING DE PORTUGAL, S.A. from the sources reviewed.
