Mercedes-Benz Group AG is an Aktiengesellschaft registered in Germany under HRB 19360 Stuttgart, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 31 July 1998 and lists its registered address as Stuttgart, Germany. 5 shareholders are on record for Mercedes-Benz Group AG, 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 11 August 2026.

Shareholders

5

Five shareholders are currently on record for Mercedes-Benz Group AG, based on voting-rights notifications filed under the WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz).

The largest of these is VANGUARD STAR FUNDS-Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, holding 25.4% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Trust-iShares MSCI EAFE ETF at 5.7%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

The register reports 21 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.

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

Five officers are currently on record for Mercedes-Benz Group AG, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).

The register reports 476 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at Mercedes-Benz Group AG 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

Mercedes-Benz Group AG has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 63 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 24 jurisdictions. 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 63 subsidiaries span Germany, United States, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, Canada, and 18 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. 18 of the 63 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
