Chr. Hansen GmbH
Chr. Hansen GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 30086 Walsrode, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Nienburg/Weser, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Chr. Hansen GmbH, 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 3 October 2026.

Shareholders
1
One shareholder is currently on record for Chr. Hansen GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is Halley GmbH, holding 72.3% — 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.

Officers
3
Two of the 3 officer records shown for Chr. Hansen GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Carsten Rou (appointed 2019-06-06) serves as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Ludger Bückers (appointed 2006-07-12) serves as Officer. The remaining 1 record shown (Thomas Reiner) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
Management authority at Chr. Hansen GmbH 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
Chr. Hansen GmbH sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, Novo Nordisk Fonden, registered in Denmark. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to Novo Nordisk Fonden is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Chr. Hansen GmbH'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 1 subsidiary spans Germany jurisdiction, 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.
