Group Structure

Group structure of HENSOLDT Optronics GmbH

HENSOLDT Optronics GmbH sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, HENSOLDT AG, registered in Germany. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. The full chain up to HENSOLDT AG is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by HENSOLDT Optronics GmbH's own shareholder record. 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.

  • HENSOLDT THEON NightVision GmbH (Germany)
  • Hensoldt Optronics Gmbh (Norway)

Data availability

Those 2 subsidiaries span Germany, Norway 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. One of the 2 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
