Hottinger Brüel & Kjær A/S is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Denmark under 23958414, and its current status with Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 3 September 1957 and lists its registered address as Virum, Denmark. 1 shareholder is on record for Hottinger Brüel & Kjær A/S, 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 Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register) and was last updated on 30 September 2026.

Group Structure

Hottinger Brüel & Kjær A/S sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, SPECTRIS PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above Hottinger Brüel & Kjær A/S is Spectris Denmark ApS, holding 100% as filed in Hottinger Brüel & Kjær A/S's own shareholder record with Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register). SPECTRIS PLC sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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.

Those 2 subsidiaries span Denmark, United States 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.
