Compass Minerals International, Inc. is a registered legal entity registered in United States under 3542149, and its current status with Kansas Secretary of State is active. The company was incorporated on 30 October 2003 and lists its registered address as Overland Park, United States. 7 shareholders are on record for Compass Minerals International, Inc., 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 Kansas Secretary of State and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Shareholders

7

Shareholders of Compass Minerals International, Inc.

Seven shareholders are currently on record for Compass Minerals International, Inc., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Koch, Inc. , holding 15.9% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Vanguard Group Inc at 7.6%; the remaining 5 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every 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.

Data availability

Those 20 subsidiaries span United States, United Kingdom 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. Two of the 20 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
