Kia Motors Corporation is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in South Korea under 1198102316, and its current status with Supreme Court Internet Registry (IROS) is active. Its registered address on file is Seoul, South Korea. 5 shareholders are on record for Kia Motors Corporation, 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 Supreme Court Internet Registry (IROS) and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders

5

Shareholders of Kia Motors Corporation

Five shareholders are currently on record for Kia Motors Corporation, filed with Supreme Court Internet Registry (IROS). The largest of these is Vanguard International Stock Index-Total Intl Stock Indx, holding 19.5% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF at 13.9%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every 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.

The register reports 11 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

Group Structure

Group structure of Kia Motors Corporation

Kia Motors Corporation has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 14 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 11 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.

  • KIA MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA FZE (United Arab Emirates)
  • KIA MOTORS CORPORATION (Italy)
  • Kia Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)
  • Kia America, Inc. (United States)
  • Kia Europe GmbH (Germany)
  • KIA MALAYSIA SDN. BHD. (Malaysia)
  • Kia Deutschland GmbH (Germany)
  • Kia Slovakia s. r. o. (Slovakia)
  • Yanji Kia Motor Service Co., Ltd. (China)
  • KIA INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (India)

Data availability

Those 14 subsidiaries span South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Mexico, United States, Germany, and 5 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 14 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
