Lucas Bols B.V.
Lucas Bols B.V. is a private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 34242707, with its registered address at Paulus Potterstraat 14, 1071 CZ Amsterdam, and is recorded as active on the KvK register. The KvK classifies its principal activity under SIC/SBI code 64210, activities of financial holdings, reflecting its role as an intermediate holding company within The Lucas Bols Company group rather than a direct operating entity. The company was formerly incorporated as the publicly traded Lucas Bols N.V., listed on Euronext Amsterdam. Following a recommended public cash offer by Nolet Group announced in October 2023 and a majority acquisition completed by February 2024, Lucas Bols N.V. converted its legal form to Lucas Bols B.V. and its shares were delisted from Euronext Amsterdam with effect from 2 September 2024.
Trading under the Lucas Bols name since 1575, the wider Lucas Bols Company group produces and distributes genever, gin, liqueurs and vodka under a portfolio of more than 20 spirits brands, sold in over 110 countries, with operating activities carried out through group subsidiaries including Lucas Bols Amsterdam B.V. Frank Cocx became chief executive of The Lucas Bols Company effective 1 October 2025, succeeding Huub van Doorne, who led the company for two decades and was proposed to chair its supervisory board from 1 January 2026. These figures describe the wider Lucas Bols Company group rather than confirmed standalone results for Lucas Bols B.V., since no entity-level revenue or headcount for this specific legal entity was located in official filings reviewed for this profile.

Shareholders of Lucas Bols B.V.
Lucas Bols B.V. is a privately held company; Dutch KvK corporate-linkage data (reviewed 18 September 2026) records Nolet Lucas Bols Holding B.V. (KvK 90636503) as its immediate parent, without a disclosed shareholding percentage. This structure reflects the outcome of Nolet Group’s recommended public cash offer for the then-listed Lucas Bols N.V., under which Nolet acquired a majority shareholding (reported by the companies and Dutch financial press as approximately 76% by February 2024) ahead of the company’s conversion to a B.V. and its delisting from Euronext Amsterdam on 2 September 2024. Separate shareholder-register data associated with this profile lists a number of institutional fund holders (including John Hancock Funds, Dimensional Fund Advisors entities and Lincoln Variable Insurance Products funds) with holdings of low-single-digit to mid-thirties percentages of ordinary shares, dated as recently as 4 September 2026; these records predate, and are superseded by, the 2024 delisting and going-private transaction, since a delisted private B.V. is not expected to carry continuing public free-float fund shareholdings, and no source confirms these funds still hold shares in the company today.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual ultimate beneficial owner could be independently verified for this profile. KvK corporate-linkage data traces the ownership chain above Lucas Bols B.V. to Stichting Administratiekantoor Nolet (KvK 24289049), a Dutch administratiekantoor (share-administration foundation), a structure the Nolet family has historically used to hold its business interests, including the Nolet Distillery. No source reviewed for this profile discloses the identity or effective percentage of any natural-person beneficial owner behind that foundation.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. The Netherlands does not maintain a fully public UBO register accessible without restriction, and KvK corporate-structure data provides parent and subsidiary names without ownership percentages. The institutional fund shareholdings on record with this profile date from the company’s period as a listed N.V. and could not be confirmed as still current following its 2024 delisting.

Directors and officers of Lucas Bols B.V.
KvK officer data associated with this profile (synced 18 September 2026) records four active officers of Lucas Bols B.V.: J.K. Vries (Director), Huub L.M.P. van Doorne (recorded as CEO and member of the management board), A.B. van Doorne (Creative & Communications Director) and Frank J. Cocx (recorded as CFO, member of the management board and compliance officer). However, reputable trade press (The Spirits Business, FoodBev Media and Drinks International) reports that Frank Cocx became chief executive of The Lucas Bols Company effective 1 October 2025, succeeding Huub van Doorne after twenty years in the role, and that van Doorne was proposed to become chair of the company’s supervisory board effective 1 January 2026. The KvK-sourced officer snapshot used for this profile does not yet reflect this reported change in the CEO and CFO roles, so the role titles above should be treated as provisional pending confirmation from an updated registry extract. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed in the available KvK data for any of the four officers.

Data availability
Classification: Current only, with a known lag. KvK company extracts for Dutch B.V. entities generally show current officers without full historical appointment and resignation dates, and this profile’s underlying registry snapshot appears not to have been updated yet for the October 2025 CEO transition reported in trade press.
