Empire
Empire is a Public Limited Company registered in Belgium under 0432358395, and its current status with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) is active. The company was incorporated on 29 October 1987 and lists its registered address as Belgium. 1 shareholder is on record for Empire, 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 Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) and was last updated on 19 October 2026.

Shareholders
1
One shareholder is currently on record for Empire, reflecting the registre des actions nominatives (register of registered shares) kept by the company under the Code des sociétés et des associations rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is Pathé Belgique SA, holding 100% — 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.
| Shareholder | Type | Holding | Source Document |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathé Belgique SA | 100% | Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) |
Officers
5
Two of the 5 officer records shown for Empire are current appointments, filed with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE). FRANCOIS BERTAUX and Jean Hanne both serve as Director. The remaining 3 records shown (Anne-Laure Julienne, Jacques Hoendervangers and 1 other) are former appointments that have since been resigned.
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Empire 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
Empire sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, MERIT FRANCE, registered in France. The full chain up to MERIT FRANCE is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Empire's own shareholder record.
