KIRBY CORPORATION
KIRBY CORPORATION, as held in this record, is a United States business registration attributed to the Louisiana Secretary of State (geauxBIZ), with an address in Lafayette, Louisiana (ZIP 70501). The record gives registration number K843321, a status of Active and a date of 1 January 1914. None of these values could be confirmed against the Louisiana register: its Commercial Search requires a reCAPTCHA token, and a charter-number query for K843321 made on 30 September 2026 was rejected with an error page, so no result of any kind was obtained. The record should therefore be treated as unverified.
Several features indicate that the record does not describe one identifiable legal entity. The same value, K843321, is stored on three other records on this site that are attributed to the Utah, New Mexico and Alaska registers and carry the same website and the same 1914 date, so it cannot be a Louisiana charter number for all of them. The date is a year-level value stored as 1 January, not a recorded filing date. The legal form shown on the card, “Private limited company (Ltd.)”, is a United Kingdom form and is not a form of United States business entity.
The stored website, kirby.com, is operated by The Kirby Company of Cleveland, Ohio, which makes Kirby vacuum cleaners and home-cleaning systems. Its website says the brand has operated since 1914 and that its products are sold through independent, authorised distributors. The 1914 year in this record matches that brand history, not a Louisiana filing. A shared website is not evidence of identity: whether the Lafayette registration belongs to The Kirby Company, to a separate business trading under the Kirby name, or to another entity could not be established.
This page should not be read as a profile of Kirby Corporation (NYSE: KEX). According to its Form 10-K for 2025, that company is a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1969, with a history going back to 1921. It is registered with the SEC under CIK 0000056047 (EIN 74-1884980), has its principal office at 55 Waugh Drive, Houston, Texas, and uses the website kirbycorp.com. It operates tank barges in marine transportation and has a distribution and services business. None of this record’s identifiers (the number K843321, the 1914 date or kirby.com) appear in those filings, so the two could not be matched. The card’s Active status is unverified and does not show that any business is trading.

Shareholders
Shareholders of KIRBY CORPORATION
No shareholders are disclosed for the KIRBY CORPORATION registration in this record. The data provider holds no shareholder rows for it, and the Louisiana register could not be queried because its search requires a reCAPTCHA token. No official filing tied to registration number K843321 was found that names an owner.
The entity behind this record has not been identified, so no ownership filing can be attributed to it. In particular, the shareholder disclosures of Kirby Corporation (NYSE: KEX), a Nevada company that files with the SEC under CIK 0000056047, do not apply to this record: that company’s filings do not contain this record’s registration number, date or website. The ownership of the listed company is set out in its own SEC filings.
Data availability
Not found. No reliable shareholder or beneficial-ownership information was located for this registration. This is an absence of available information, not evidence that the business has no owners.

Officers
Directors and officers of KIRBY CORPORATION
No current or former directors or officers could be verified for the KIRBY CORPORATION registration in this record. The data provider holds no officer rows for it. The Louisiana Secretary of State’s Commercial Search shows officers and registered agents for entities on its register, but a scripted charter-number query for K843321 on 30 September 2026 was rejected because the search requires a reCAPTCHA token. As a result, no officer names, roles or appointment dates could be read.
No officer information from other companies has been used here. The executives and directors of Kirby Corporation (NYSE: KEX), a Nevada company based in Houston, are not listed here because that company could not be matched to this record.
Data availability
Restricted. Louisiana publishes officer names through its register, but automated access to it is blocked, so no officers, roles, dates or nationalities are shown. The note stored with this record saying that officer data is “not available for this jurisdiction” should not be read as a statement about the Louisiana register.

Group Structure
Group structure of KIRBY CORPORATION
No corporate relationships have been verified for the KIRBY CORPORATION registration in this record. The data provider holds no group data for it, and because the entity behind the registration could not be identified in the Louisiana register, no parent company, subsidiary or sister company can be attributed to it.
Two possible connections were checked and neither is established. First, the stored website kirby.com belongs to The Kirby Company of Cleveland, Ohio. A shared website does not prove ownership, and The Kirby Company says its products are sold through independent distributors. Second, Kirby Corporation (NYSE: KEX) lists its consolidated subsidiaries in Exhibit 21.1 to its 2025 Form 10-K. The list names the Nevada parent and two Louisiana-domiciled subsidiaries, KIM Partners, LLC and Marine Systems, Inc., but no Louisiana entity called Kirby Corporation. Exhibit 21 does not show out-of-state registrations of existing companies, so it can neither confirm nor rule out a link.

Data availability
Not found. No reliable corporate-linkage information was located for this registration, and the Louisiana register could not be queried. This does not show that the business is independent. The same registration number is stored on Kirby-named records attributed to the Utah, New Mexico and Alaska registers, and no filing was found that links any of them.
