Directors and officers of Continental Aktiengesellschaft

12 of the 69 officer records shown for Continental Aktiengesellschaft are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 51 records shown (Setzer Nikolai, Ariane Reinhart and 45 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

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

Group structure of Continental Aktiengesellschaft

Continental Aktiengesellschaft has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 45 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 34 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.

  • ContiTech Belgium (Belgium)
  • CONTINENTAL INDUSTRIAS DEL CAUCHO SA (Spain)
  • Continental Däck Sverige AB (Sweden)
  • Continental Dekk Norge AS (Norway)
  • CONTINENTAL MABOR – INDÚSTRIA DE PNEUS, S.A. (Portugal)
  • CONTI TRADE AUSTRALIA PTY. LTD. (Australia)
  • EU-RETEC (PRIVATE) LIMITED (Sri Lanka)
  • CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (India)
  • Continental Reifen Austria GmbH (Austria)
  • CONTINENTAL SYSTEME AUTOMOTIVE MAROC (Morocco)

Data availability

Those 45 subsidiaries span Germany, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, and 28 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. 13 of the 45 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.

Those 45 subsidiaries span Germany, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, and 28 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. 13 of the 45 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.

Can Zavia monitor changes to Continental Aktiengesellschaft's ownership over time?

This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Zavia's monitoring API can track changes to Continental Aktiengesellschaft's registered shareholders, officers, and group structure going forward, flagging updates as they're filed rather than requiring a manual recheck.

Can I access Continental Aktiengesellschaft's data through an API?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including Germany, so records like Continental Aktiengesellschaft's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
