NUNHEMS ITALY SRL
Nunhems Italy S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company (società a responsabilità limitata) registered with the Registro delle Imprese held by the Bologna Chamber of Commerce under number BO275594. Present on the Italian market since 1982, the company is currently listed with active status. Its registered and operating address is Via Ghiarone 2, 40019 Sant’Agata Bolognese, in the province of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna. Official company disclosures also list a VAT number, IT00605931203, for the entity.
The company carries out research, breeding, seed production and marketing of vegetable seeds under the Nunhems brand, BASF’s international vegetable seeds business. At Sant’Agata Bolognese, Nunhems Italy S.r.l. combines seed processing with a research and development centre for vegetable species, including a phytopathology laboratory used to study plant pathogens and develop disease-resistant varieties. Italian agricultural trade press reporting from September 2018 and February 2019 described the site as employing around 80 people, more than 40 of them in research and development, across a 13-hectare complex that includes 3 hectares of greenhouses and about 3,000 square metres of office space.
Nunhems Italy S.r.l. has operated within BASF’s Agricultural Solutions division since 16 August 2018, when BASF closed its global acquisition of Bayer’s vegetable seeds business, the principal component of which was the Nunhems brand; BASF’s Italian Agricultural Solutions unit announced the integration of Nunhems Italy in September 2018. Across its international operations, the Nunhems brand covers 24 crops and approximately 2,600 varieties, a figure describing Nunhems’ worldwide seed business rather than the scale of the Italian legal entity on its own. Nunhems Italy S.r.l. continues to trade and file under its own registration in Italy.

Shareholders of Nunhems Italy S.r.l.
One shareholder is currently on record for Nunhems Italy S.r.l. in the Registro delle Imprese (Business Register) maintained by the Bologna Chamber of Commerce: BASF Agricultural Solutions Italy S.r.l., an Italian company based in Cesano Maderno (Monza e Brianza), which holds 100% of Nunhems Italy S.r.l.’s share capital. This is recorded as a direct holding, with no intermediate entity shown between BASF Agricultural Solutions Italy S.r.l. and Nunhems Italy S.r.l. in the filing. The registry record was verified on 2 August 2026.
Italian S.r.l. companies have not been required to maintain a separate libro soci (shareholders’ ledger) since Law 2/2009, so ownership is evidenced through Registro delle Imprese filings rather than a company-held register. Because the recorded shareholder is itself a corporate entity rather than a natural person, this filing does not on its own establish who, if anyone, is the ultimate beneficial owner of Nunhems Italy S.r.l.; no verified ultimate beneficial owner is identified in the sources reviewed for this record.
Data availability
Full for the direct shareholder level: the Registro delle Imprese filing discloses the sole recorded shareholder and its complete percentage holding as of the verification date. It does not extend to identifying any beneficial owner above that corporate shareholder.
