Metro Großhandelsgesellschaft mbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 13493 Düsseldorf, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 6 June 1978 and lists its registered address as Düsseldorf, Germany. 1 shareholder is on record for Metro Großhandelsgesellschaft mbH, 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.
