Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli Ag has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 21 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 16 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 21 subsidiaries span Switzerland, Czechia, Australia, Germany, United States, 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. 10 of the 21 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
