Officers
5
The Limited Partner of Karl Storz SE & Co. KG on record is Gudrun Heine; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).
The register reports 18 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Karl Storz SE & 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
Karl Storz SE & Co. KG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 57 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 38 jurisdictions. 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 57 subsidiaries span Germany, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, Argentina, and 32 more 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. Four of the 57 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
