EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC is a Public Limited Company registered in United Kingdom under 04347937, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 7 January 2002 and lists its registered address as Penarth, United Kingdom. 5 shareholders are on record for EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC, 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 Companies House and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Shareholders of EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC

Five shareholders are currently on record for EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006. The largest of these is John Hancock Fds II-International Small Company Fund, holding 6.3% — the largest recorded stake — followed by DFA International Vector Equity Port at 5.4%; the remaining 3 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

The register reports 6 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

Group Structure

Group structure of EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC

EKF DIAGNOSTICS HOLDINGS PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 4 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 3 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.

  • Stanbio Laboratory, LLC (United States)
  • Ekf Diagnostics, Inc. (United States)
  • Separation Technology, Inc. (United States)
  • EKF-diagnostic GmbH (Germany)

Data availability

Those 4 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States, Germany 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 4 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
