Merck Life Science
Merck Life Science is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Belgium under 0425578392, and its current status with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) is active. The company was incorporated on 16 March 1984 and lists its registered address as Belgium. 2 shareholders are on record for Merck Life Science, 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 17 October 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for Merck Life Science, reflecting the registre des actions nominatives (register of registered shares) kept by the company under the Code des sociétés et des associations rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is MERCK CHEMICALS NV, holding 100% — a majority holding — followed by Millipore International Holdings S.à r.l. 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.
