Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 1147 Darmstadt, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Darmstadt, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH, 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 Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 1 October 2026.

Management authority at Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

Group Structure

Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, SPECTRIS PLC, registered in United Kingdom. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. Immediately above Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH is Spectris Germany GmbH, holding 25% as filed in Hottinger Brüel & Kjaer GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial 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 1 subsidiary spans 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.
