Manufactum GmbH
Manufactum GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 7982 Recklinghausen, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Waltrop, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for Manufactum GmbH, 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 19 October 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for Manufactum GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is OVC Venture Capital GmbH, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by OVC Venture Capital GmbH at 0%.
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
The Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Manufactum GmbH currently on record is Kai-Uwe Steffan; five officers are currently on record for Manufactum GmbH, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Manufactum GmbH 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
Manufactum GmbH sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, Michael-Otto-Stiftung, registered in Germany. 4 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 2 jurisdictions. The full chain up to Michael-Otto-Stiftung is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Manufactum GmbH's own shareholder record. 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 4 subsidiaries span Germany, Austria 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.
