Shareholders of MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED
Ireland’s Companies Registration Office (CRO) records one shareholder for MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED: HANOVER HOLDINGS LIMITED, an Irish-registered corporate shareholder, holding 626,540 ordinary shares of EUR2.00 each (aggregate nominal value EUR1,253,080), equal to 100 percent of the company’s issued share capital. This filing was verified as of 31 December 2024. As the sole recorded shareholder holds all issued shares directly, the disclosure represents Marco Beverage Systems’ complete shareholder register rather than a partial extract.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual ultimate beneficial owner is identified at this level. HANOVER HOLDINGS LIMITED is itself a corporate entity rather than a natural person, and Zavia’s corporate-linkage data places it beneath The Middleby Corporation, a US company listed on Nasdaq under the ticker MIDD, in the ownership chain. Because Middleby is a publicly traded company with dispersed institutional and public shareholders, no single natural person can be identified as exercising ultimate beneficial ownership through this chain based on the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED is Full at the level of its immediate share register: the CRO Annual Return identifies the sole shareholder, its shareholding and share value. Ireland’s separate Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO) is Restricted for public users, who can search only limited fields (name, month and year of birth, nationality, and extent of interest) rather than the full beneficial-ownership filing, so this profile does not independently verify RBO-held beneficial-ownership data beyond the CRO share register described above.

Directors and officers of MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED
Zavia’s registry extract for MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED lists five officer records out of eleven on file with the Companies Registration Office (CRO): three shown as active directors – Drewry Pearson, Kevin Condon and Sean Moran, each recorded with an appointment date of 1 May 1996 – and two shown as resigned, Martin Coughlan and Dolores Coughlan. This is a partial extract of the full CRO officer history rather than a complete current-and-former listing.
Trade-press announcements report a change in day-to-day leadership: on 10 February 2021, Marco Beverage Systems announced that Paul Stack, previously operations director, was promoted to Managing Director, succeeding Drewry Pearson, who moved into the role of Executive Chairman after more than 25 years leading the company. The CRO officer extract reviewed for this profile continues to record Drewry Pearson only under the legal role of Director and does not itself capture a distinct Managing Director or Executive Chairman title, so this leadership change is reported here on the basis of the company’s own announcement rather than a CRO filing.
Nationality is not officially disclosed for any of the individuals named above in the sources reviewed. Correspondence addresses on file are in Ireland for the three active directors.
Recent officer changes
- Paul Stack appointed Managing Director, succeeding Drewry Pearson, who became Executive Chairman – announced 10 February 2021 (source: Vending Market Watch).
Data availability
Officer information for this Irish private limited company is Partial: the reviewed registry extract includes only five of eleven officer records on file with the CRO, and two of those five records – for Martin Coughlan and Dolores Coughlan – carry appointment and resignation dates (1 January 1901 and 1 January 1902) that predate the company’s own CRO incorporation date of 30 September 1981 by roughly eighty years, and an address country code (GB) inconsistent with their stated Foxrock, Dublin correspondence address. These two fields appear to be erroneous placeholder values in the underlying registry data rather than genuine CRO filing dates or a UK address, and should be corrected against the CRO source record. Nationality is not disclosed for any officer in the sources reviewed.

Group Structure
Group structure of MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED
MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED is part of a verified corporate group. Zavia’s corporate-linkage data records its immediate parent as HANOVER HOLDINGS LIMITED, an Irish-registered company (registration number IE 223222), which holds 100 percent of Marco Beverage Systems’ issued share capital according to the CRO Annual Return described in the shareholders section above. The Middleby Corporation, a Delaware corporation listed on Nasdaq under the ticker MIDD (SEC EDGAR CIK 0000769520), is recorded further up the same ownership chain and is confirmed by Middleby’s own FY2022 Form 10-K, which states that the company completed its acquisition of all the capital stock of Marco Beverage Systems, located in Ireland, in December 2022, within its Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group segment. No direct or indirect subsidiaries of MARCO BEVERAGE SYSTEMS LIMITED itself are identified in the sources reviewed.
Zavia’s dataset separately lists Marco Beverage System US Inc. (Washington State, US, registration US WA 603378468) elsewhere within Middleby’s wider corporate tree, structurally alongside rather than beneath Marco Beverage Systems Limited’s own node. Given the shared brand name this may be a related US sales or service entity, but the data reviewed does not verify a direct ownership link between the two, so it is presented here only as a possible, unverified relationship.
