Shareholders
Shareholders of GKN Fokker Aerospace B.V.
Dutch private limited companies are not required to file public shareholder registers with the KvK trade register, and the Netherlands’ UBO register has not been publicly searchable since a 2022 Court of Justice of the European Union ruling restricted public access to UBO data across EU member states. As a result, no shareholder identities or ownership percentages for GKN Fokker Aerospace B.V. could be verified from publicly accessible official sources as of September 2026. Trade-register aggregator extracts identify Fokker Technologies Group B.V. (KvK 55338240), registered at the same Papendrecht address, in a corporate management capacity relative to GKN Fokker Aerospace B.V. since 2023. This reflects a management/directorship relationship rather than a confirmed shareholding, and no source consulted disclosed the entity’s actual shareholder(s) or their holding percentages.
Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for this entity is classified as Not public: Dutch trade registers do not publish shareholder registers for private limited companies, and public UBO register access has been restricted since 2022.
