Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa
Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa is a Public Limited Company registered in Belgium under 0408308434, and its current status with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) is active. The company was incorporated on 19 May 1971 and lists its registered address as Belgium. 2 shareholders are on record for Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa, 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 Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) and was last updated on 2 October 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa, reflecting the registre des actions nominatives (register of registered shares) maintained under the Code des sociétés et des associations rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is Merck Chemicals B.V. Netherlands, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by Millipore S.A.S. 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.
| Shareholder | Type | Holding | Source Document |

Officers
5
Two of the 5 officer records shown for Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa are current appointments, filed with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE). JEAN-PIERRE DARRIOT and Christos Andriopoulos both serve as Director. The remaining 3 records shown (BENOIT ELICHABE, Spasena Ivanova Yotova and 1 other) are former appointments that have since been resigned.
The register reports 18 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa 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
Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa sits 5 levels below its ultimate parent, MERCK KG auf Aktien, registered in Germany. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to MERCK KG auf Aktien is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Merck Chemicals Nv/Sa'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 2 subsidiaries span Belgium jurisdiction, 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.
