Directors and officers of LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft
The Ceo of LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft currently on record is Matthias Zachert; 30 of the 103 officer records shown for LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). The remaining 69 records shown (Wolfgang Schmitz, Joachim Reinders and 62 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at LANXESS Aktiengesellschaft 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.

Data availability
Those 11 subsidiaries span Germany, Chile, Canada, France, United Arab Emirates, United States, and 1 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. Two of the 11 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
