Envirotainer AG
Envirotainer AG is a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) registered at the Würzburg Local Court (Amtsgericht Würzburg) under number HRB 7368, with its registered office at Alfred-Nobel-Str. 33, 97080 Würzburg, Germany. The registry lists the company as active, and its Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is 529900MHY0HTHX71DO39. This record was previously stored under the name “Envirotainer AG” alongside a website address for va-q-tec.com; registry research confirms this is not a data error – it is the same legal entity, formerly known as va-Q-tec AG, renamed Envirotainer AG in 2025.
The entity was originally established in Würzburg in 2001 as va-Q-tec AG by Joachim Kuhn and Roland Caps, developing vacuum insulation panel (VIP) and phase-change-material (PCM) technology for temperature-controlled transport and building insulation, building on research from the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research (ZAE Bayern). On 30 September 2016, va-Q-tec AG listed on the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN DE0006636681) at an issue price of €12.30 per share, raising approximately €82.9 million in gross proceeds.
In January 2023, EQT Private Equity, through the acquisition vehicle Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH and backed by co-investors Mubadala Investment Company and Cinven, launched a voluntary public takeover offer for va-Q-tec AG at €26.00 per share. The offer settled on 6 July 2023 after exceeding its minimum acceptance threshold, and the German Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt) cleared the transaction on 12 June 2023, noting EQT’s existing control of the Swedish temperature-controlled-container group Envirotainer AB. Following a delisting tender offer and a 29 August 2023 annual general meeting resolution approving a domination and profit-and-loss transfer agreement with Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH, va-Q-tec AG’s shares were delisted from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange effective 30 August 2023.
Envirotainer announced on 4 September 2024 that it had completed the integration of va-Q-tec’s pharmaceutical, passive-cooling business into its cold-chain logistics offering, combining Envirotainer’s active temperature-controlled container leasing with va-Q-tec’s passive thermal-packaging technology for pharmaceutical, clinical-trial and cell-and-gene-therapy shipments. As part of the same reorganisation, va-Q-tec’s non-pharmaceutical product lines – food logistics, last-mile pharmacy delivery packaging, appliances, construction and industrial thermal insulation – were transferred in 2024 to a newly formed, separately registered company, va-Q-tec Thermal Solutions GmbH, which continues to operate independently under founder Dr Joachim Kuhn.
The remaining AG entity, HRB 7368, was renamed from va-Q-tec AG to Envirotainer AG by shareholder resolution at the annual general meeting held on 29 August 2025, formalising its role within the Envirotainer Group’s temperature-controlled transport and logistics business for the healthcare and life-sciences sector. va-Q-tec AG reported consolidated group revenue of approximately €111.8 million for the 2022 financial year, the last full year before delisting; no independently verified, entity-specific revenue figure for Envirotainer AG covering a period after the 2024 integration was located at the time of writing.

Shareholders of Envirotainer AG
The shareholder data held for this record lists a single disclosed holding, dated 4 September 2026: Dimensional ETF Trust – Dimensional International Core Equity 2 ETF, shown against 4 ordinary shares with a nominal value of €27 each (total nominal value €108). This is recorded as 100% of a small sample of shares captured in the underlying dataset, not 100% of the company’s total issued share capital, and must not be read as a controlling or majority stake.
va-Q-tec AG (the entity’s former name) was previously listed on the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN DE0006636681). In January 2023, EQT Private Equity, acting through the acquisition vehicle Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH and supported by co-investors Mubadala Investment Company and Cinven, launched a voluntary public takeover offer at €26.00 per share. Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH exceeded its minimum acceptance threshold in February 2023 and had secured more than 70% of all issued shares by settlement on 6 July 2023. Shareholders approved a domination and profit-and-loss transfer agreement with Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH at the 29 August 2023 annual general meeting, and the shares were delisted effective 30 August 2023. No source reviewed discloses Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH’s exact current percentage shareholding in Envirotainer AG following the 2024 integration into the Envirotainer Group, or confirms it remains the direct registered shareholder today.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this entity is classified as Restricted: only a single, non-representative sample holding appears in the platform’s dataset, and Germany does not require continuing public disclosure of shareholders in a privately held Aktiengesellschaft outside statutory voting-rights notifications, which ceased to apply once the company was delisted. No individual ultimate beneficial owner has been identified from the sources reviewed; the entity’s traceable ownership chain (see group structure) leads to a private-equity-sponsored holding structure rather than to a named natural person, so no UBO section is presented here.

Directors and officers of Envirotainer AG
The reviewed dataset lists 27 officer records for Envirotainer AG (formerly va-Q-tec AG), of which 2 are shown as active and 25 as resigned. The two current board members shown are Johan Erik Axel Syrén and Fabian Eschenbach, both recorded with the role Board Member and a German correspondence address. The former founder-management team – Dr Joachim Kuhn (founder, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board, appointed 14 January 2003), Roland Caps (co-founder and former Head of Innovation & Quality) and Stefan Döhmen (former CFO, appointed 17 July 2017) – are all recorded as resigned, consistent with public reporting that the founding leadership moved to lead the newly separate va-Q-tec Thermal Solutions GmbH after the 2024 business split, rather than remaining on the Envirotainer AG board. Several further resigned entries correspond to former managing directors of va-Q-tec’s international sales units in the United States, India, Brazil and Uruguay. The dataset appears only partially current: an external register extract (Northdata) references a Fabian Eschenbach board appointment effective 3 February 2025 that does not match the appointment date held in this dataset, indicating the officer records may not reflect the latest Handelsregister state. No date of birth day, national ID or nationality is published in the underlying source; only a correspondence country is recorded.
Recent officer changes
- Founding executives Dr Joachim Kuhn, Roland Caps and Stefan Döhmen ceased to hold board positions in this entity as part of the 2023–2024 ownership change and business separation (Northdata register extract; Envirotainer press release, 4 September 2024). An exact effective date is not stated in the sources reviewed.
- Johan Erik Axel Syrén is recorded as an active board member following the entity’s integration into the Envirotainer Group (Northdata register extract).
Data availability
Officer information for a German Aktiengesellschaft is generally Full for current appointments via the Handelsregister, but the officer records reviewed for this profile mix current and long-superseded entries without a clear “as of” date, and at least one recent appointment (Fabian Eschenbach, per Northdata) is not reflected in this dataset. Nationality is not disclosed for any officer in the reviewed source; the recorded correspondence country (Germany, or India for one former appointee) must not be read as nationality or country of residence.

Group Structure
Group structure of Envirotainer AG
Envirotainer AG is not an independent company. The corporate-linkage data reviewed places it within a multi-layer holding structure. Its immediate parent is Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH (Germany), the EQT Private Equity-led vehicle, backed by co-investors Mubadala Investment Company and Cinven, that acquired va-Q-tec AG in 2023. Fahrenheit AcquiCo GmbH sits beneath Envirotainer GmbH (Germany) and a Swedish holding chain – Envirotainer AB, ENV Bidco AB, ENV Midco AB, ENV Holdco AB and ENV Topco AB – leading to Electric Holding S.à r.l., a Luxembourg-registered entity (registration number LU B264967), which is the ultimate parent identifiable in the reviewed data. This structure is consistent with public reporting that EQT Private Equity, Mubadala Investment Company and Cinven control the Envirotainer Group; the fund investors or persons ultimately behind Electric Holding S.à r.l. are not identified in the sources reviewed. Ownership and voting percentages are not disclosed at any level of this chain. Two direct subsidiaries of Envirotainer AG are recorded: Va-Q-Tec USA, Inc. (United States) and Envirotainer Ltd (United Kingdom, registration number 07481555), reflecting the international sales and pharma-logistics presence retained from the former va-Q-tec AG structure. A further linked record, Edgeconnex EDC North America, LLC (Virginia, US), appears in the same dataset tier but could not be independently verified as a corporate subsidiary or affiliate from any registry, filing or announcement reviewed, and has been excluded from the table below as unverified.
