KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA
KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 205722 Göttingen, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 1 January 1864 and lists its registered address as Einbeck, Germany. 5 shareholders are on record for KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, 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 11 September 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is HARDING LOEVNER Fd.S INC-Harding Loevner Intl Small Companies PORT., holding 6% — the largest recorded stake — followed by DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC-DFA Intl Small Cap Value PORT. at 5.3%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 13 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
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.

Officers
5
Five officers are currently on record for KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).
The register reports 36 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA 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
KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 23 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 10 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 23 subsidiaries span Germany, Slovakia, United States, Switzerland, France, Argentina, and 4 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. Three of the 23 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
