John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRA 40336 Hamburg, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Hamburg, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG, 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 13 October 2026.

Shareholders

1

One shareholder is currently on record for John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG, which has no share capital divided into shares.

The largest of these is von Rantzau & Co. Handels- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft GmbH & Co. KG, holding 100% — a majority holding.

Because the shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers

1

No current officer appointment is recorded for John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG in this view — the single record shown is a former appointment, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).

Management authority at John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, Familienstiftung von Rantzau-Essberger, registered in Liechtenstein. 79 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG is von Rantzau & Co. Handels- und Beteiligungsgesellschaft GmbH & Co. KG, holding 100% as filed in John T. Essberger GmbH & Co. KG's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Familienstiftung von Rantzau-Essberger 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 79 subsidiaries span Germany jurisdiction, 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 79 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
