Lidl Sverige AB

Shareholders of Lidl Sverige AB

No individual shareholders are publicly disclosed for Lidl Sverige AB (org. no. 556589-7864) in the sources reviewed. Sweden does not require a company’s full share register (aktiebok) to be filed with or published by Bolagsverket; only beneficial owners meeting the statutory disclosure threshold must be recorded in Bolagsverket’s register of beneficial owners (register över verkliga huvudmän). The registry data held for this entity notes that no beneficial-owner filing was returned, which can reflect either that no natural person meets the disclosure threshold directly, or that the underlying registration is not reflected in the source consulted. As of the retrieval date, 18 September 2026, no named shareholder or percentage holding could be verified for Lidl Sverige AB itself.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

No ultimate beneficial owner is publicly disclosed for Lidl Sverige AB specifically. The company forms part of the Lidl/Schwarz Group corporate family, whose wider ultimate parent, Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG (Neckarsulm, Germany), is privately held. Business press and reference sources widely identify Dieter Schwarz, the German entrepreneur who built the Lidl and Kaufland retail businesses from his father’s original wholesale operation, as the individual associated with control of the Schwarz Group, exercised through a foundation-based ownership structure rather than direct personal shareholding. No official filing identifies a calculable, verified effective ownership percentage down to Lidl Sverige AB itself, and no natural-person UBO is disclosed against this Swedish entity in the sources reviewed. This should not be read as evidence that no UBO exists — only that none is publicly disclosed for this specific entity.

Data availability

Not public / Restricted: Sweden does not publish a company’s full shareholder register, and no beneficial-owner filing was located for Lidl Sverige AB in the sources reviewed as of 18 September 2026.

Directors and officers of Lidl Sverige AB

Bolagsverket-sourced company records (via a licensed Swedish business-information reseller) list a current board of seven directors for Lidl Sverige AB: chairman Karl Ragnar Jakob Josefsson, and board members Carl Friedrich Balcer, Helena Marita Elna Erlingsjö, Martin Kauffner, Niclas Sven Åke Kjellman, Robert Stekovic and Pierre-Louis René Aimé Vigne. Separately, four people are recorded as external signatories (firmatecknare) authorised to sign for the company: Elias Hübsch, Thomas Iakovidis, Elin Kristina Schaffer and Gustav Georg Stefan de Hevesy. The company’s registered auditor is Ernst & Young Aktiebolag, with Annika Elisabeth Engström named as lead auditor. Individual appointment dates were not shown in the source consulted, so all listed officers are treated as currently active unless a resignation is otherwise recorded. This reflects a Bolagsverket-derived snapshot retrieved on 18 September 2026 and may not capture appointments made after that date.

Separately, an earlier internal registry snapshot for this record lists a different set of five named directors, most marked as resigned, none with appointment or resignation dates recorded, out of a reported 54 total historical officer entries. This is consistent with normal board turnover at a large retail group’s Swedish holding entity and is not treated as conflicting with the current board list above.

Data availability

Partial: Sweden discloses company directors and authorised signatories through Bolagsverket, but appointment and resignation dates were not available in the sources reviewed, and nationality and country of residence are not disclosed for any of the named individuals — these fields are therefore reported as "Not disclosed" rather than inferred from name or address.
