Mercell Nederland B.V.

Shareholders of Mercell Nederland B.V.

No shareholder of Mercell Nederland B.V. (KVK 30148169) is disclosed by any source that could be verified for this profile, and no ownership percentage is reported anywhere. Nothing here should be read as evidence that the company has no shareholders — a Dutch B.V. necessarily has at least one.

The shareholder field held for this company contains no rows at all. What is stored is a message from the data provider explaining that Dutch shareholder information is filed with KVK and the UBO register, returned in place of data. That is a "the provider holds nothing" response, not a shareholder list, and it must not be read as a nil return from the register itself.

The Dutch position is that ownership data exists but is not freely published. KVK records the shareholder of a B.V. that has a single shareholder, and supplies that information only in a chargeable extract; annual accounts, which for some companies name the shareholder, are likewise sold as a paid product. There is no free public share register for Dutch private companies.

The one ownership-adjacent record that could be verified is an accounting-consolidation relationship rather than a shareholding. GLEIF’s LEI record for the company (LEI 894500V7ZPLOBQTUGJ91) reports MERCELL HOLDING ASA, LEI 549300WJMIWDD8XDHN64, Norwegian organisation number 980 921 565, as the entity that ultimately consolidates Mercell Nederland B.V. in its accounts. GLEIF marks that relationship FULLY_CORROBORATED, sourced from an accounts filing, in force from 22 May 2019 and with an accounting period of the year to 31 December 2020. It carries no percentage, it describes consolidation rather than legal title, and it is historical: the LEI record lapsed on 9 November 2022 and has not been updated since, and the Norwegian company it names was deleted from the Norwegian register on 17 December 2024. For the immediate parent, GLEIF records a reporting exception of NO_LEI rather than a named entity.

Data availability

Restricted. Shareholder information for a Dutch B.V. is held in the Handelsregister but is available only through a chargeable KVK extract or chargeable deposited accounts, so it could not be obtained for this profile. Beneficial-ownership information is a separate matter and is also unavailable: KVK’s own guidance, updated on 20 August 2026, states that not everyone has access to the UBO register for companies, that a UBO and the registering organisation can see only their own registration, and that access to other entries is confined to designated organisations at three graded levels (UBOB1, UBOB2, UBOB3). The general public is not among them, so no UBO of Mercell Nederland B.V. can be identified from public sources. EUR-Lex did not respond to automated requests on 28 September 2026, so the judgment underlying that restriction was not retrieved and is not relied on here; the restriction is stated on KVK’s own authority. No percentage has been inferred or substituted at any point, and no zero has been used in place of a missing figure.

Directors and officers of Mercell Nederland B.V.

No director or officer of Mercell Nederland B.V. (KVK 30148169) is named on this profile, because none could be obtained from a free authoritative source. That is a gap in the available data, not a finding about the company: a Dutch besloten vennootschap always has at least one bestuurder.

The officer field held for this company contains no rows. What is stored in its place is a message from the data provider stating that officer data "is not available for this jurisdiction" and that the company may operate in a jurisdiction without mandatory officer filing. That statement is wrong about the Netherlands and should not be repeated. Under article 18(1) of the Handelsregisterwet 2007, where a legal person is registered it is each of its bestuurders who is obliged to make the filing. Article 21(1) of the same Act provides that the data entered in the register may be inspected by anyone, and article 22 requires KVK to supply a copy or extract on electronic request. KVK’s own product page for the Uittreksel Handelsregister states that an extract shows, in most cases, who the functionarissen are and who is authorised to sign for the company. Dutch officer disclosure therefore exists and is public; it is simply behind a paid extract.

Two sources that name individuals were deliberately not used. Contact persons appearing in the company’s tender notices are sales or administrative contacts, not statutory officers. The management team published on Mercell’s group website are presented as officers of the Norwegian group parent, not of this Dutch company, and no source consulted connects any of them to an appointment at KVK 30148169.

Where an extract is obtained, the Dutch roles should be preserved rather than flattened. The statutory role is bestuurder (also styled statutair directeur); a gevolmachtigde is an authorised representative whose powers are recorded with their scope and any limit, and is not a board appointment. The register also records how the company may be represented.

Data availability

Restricted. Director and officer data for this company exists in the Dutch Handelsregister and is legally open to inspection by anyone, but KVK supplies it only through a chargeable extract, so no name, role, appointment date or resignation date could be retrieved for this profile. Nationality is recorded here as Not disclosed: no source consulted states the nationality of any officer of this company, and nationality has not been inferred from a name, an address or a country of residence. No count of active or former officers is given, because the stored field holds none and no register data was available to count.

Group structure of Mercell Nederland B.V.

Mercell Nederland B.V. (KVK 30148169) is not an independent company — it trades under the Mercell brand alongside Mercell companies in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom — but only one corporate relationship of this entity could be verified from an authoritative source, and that one is historical.

GLEIF’s LEI record for the company reports MERCELL HOLDING ASA (Norwegian organisation number 980 921 565, LEI 549300WJMIWDD8XDHN64) as the entity that ultimately consolidates Mercell Nederland B.V. in its accounts, corroborated from an accounts filing and in force from 22 May 2019. That record carries no ownership percentage, and it is out of date: the LEI record lapsed on 9 November 2022, and the Norwegian register shows that the company concerned reverted from ASA to AS on 25 August 2022 and was deleted from the register on 17 December 2024. For the immediate parent, GLEIF records a reporting exception of NO_LEI — that is, no parent with an LEI was reported — so the company’s direct owner is not established by that record either.

The corporate-linkage tree stored for this company should be treated as unreliable. Of its 24 nodes, five sit above this company and eighteen sit below it, headed by MERCELL HOLDING AS, which would make this Dutch company the parent of the whole Mercell group. Nothing supports that. Mercell’s own imprint names Mercell Holding AS in Oslo as the publisher of mercell.com, Mercell’s German imprint states that Mercell Deutschland GmbH is a subsidiary of the Norwegian Mercell holding company, and the Dutch company itself is flagged as an SME in its own 2025 EU award notice. Above the Dutch company the tree shows a five-step chain of Dutch entities named Spring; that naming is consistent with the group’s acquisition structure — the Norwegian register shows the company now called MERCELL HOLDING AS was registered in May 2022 as NFH 220405 AS and carried the name SPRING BIDCO (NORWAY) AS from 13 July 2022 to 8 January 2025 — but no source consulted establishes that any of those Dutch Spring entities holds shares in KVK 30148169. They are recorded here as possible relationships only.

Verified corporate relationships

Recent structural changes

• 25 August 2022 — the Norwegian company recorded by GLEIF as this entity’s ultimate consolidating parent changed its registered name from MERCELL HOLDING ASA back to MERCELL HOLDING AS (Brønnøysundregistrene name history for organisation number 980 921 565).
• 14 and 17 December 2024 — MERCELL MIDCO AS (Norwegian organisation number 922 978 921) and MERCELL HOLDING AS (980 921 565), both of which appear as current nodes in the stored corporate-linkage tree, were deleted from the Norwegian register.
• 8 January 2025 — the Norwegian company registered on 19 May 2022 as NFH 220405 AS and renamed SPRING BIDCO (NORWAY) AS on 13 July 2022 took the name MERCELL HOLDING AS under organisation number 829 227 932. Its registered office is Askekroken 11, 0277 Oslo, and the Norwegian register records 33 employees.

Data availability

Partial, and the stored tree contains errors. The Netherlands publishes no free corporate-ownership register for a B.V., so the company’s immediate parent could not be established; the only verified relationship is a lapsed accounting-consolidation record naming a Norwegian company that has since been struck off. Several nodes in the stored tree also fail verification: MERCELL MIDCO AS and MERCELL HOLDING AS (980 921 565) were deleted from the Norwegian register in December 2024 yet are presented as current; one node, "MERCELL MIDCO AS", is given the country code FI and business identifier 3214038-2, which returns no company at all from the Finnish PRH open-data register — a positive control on the same interface returned Mercell Suomi Oy for 2740592-1 and two results for a name search on "Mercell", neither of them a Finnish Mercell Midco; and the German node carries the string "55116B53629", which is not a Handelsregister number, where Mercell’s own German imprint gives HRB 53629 at Amtsgericht Mainz. Nodes that do check out against a register are Mercell Suomi Oy (Finland, 2740592-1), Mercell CTM AB (Sweden, 556612-8160, confirmed by its own LEI record), MERCELL UK LTD (08513444) and MERCELL UK HOLDINGS LTD (04157773, incorporated 9 February 2001), both active at Companies House, MERCELL NORGE AS (990 638 942, active) and Mercell Danmark A/S (Danish CVR 25698851, confirmed by an EU award notice). The Danish public-filings service at distribution.virk.dk was unreachable from this machine on 28 September 2026, so no Danish annual report was consulted.
