G L BOWRON & CO LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in New Zealand under 9429031992961, and its current status with New Zealand Companies Office is active. The company was incorporated on 2 March 1936 and lists its registered address as Christchurch, New Zealand. 1 shareholder is on record for G L BOWRON & CO LIMITED, 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 New Zealand Companies Office and was last updated on 25 September 2026.
