Nv Bekaert Sa
NV Bekaert SA is a Belgian public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) under number BE 0405388536. It was incorporated on 19 October 1935, its registered address on file is Bekaertstraat 2, 8550 Zwevegem, Belgium, and its status on the register is currently active.
NV Bekaert SA is the listed parent company of the Bekaert Group, a manufacturer of steel wire transformation products and advanced coating technologies. Its product range spans applications including construction reinforcement, agricultural and security fencing, automotive components, tyre reinforcement (steel cord and bead wire), combustion technology, filtration and drying media, and surface-coating solutions for industrial equipment. The group is organized around four Business Units and Global Functional Domains, with operations conducted through subsidiaries in multiple countries.
NV Bekaert SA shares trade on Euronext Brussels under ticker symbol BEKB (ISIN BE0974258874). For financial year 2025, the Bekaert Group reported consolidated sales of EUR 3.7 billion, a 6% decline year-on-year, in results published on 26 February 2026; the decline reflected weaker demand in construction and energy-transition end markets alongside currency translation effects. This is a group-consolidated figure and should not be read as a standalone financial result for NV Bekaert SA as a single legal entity, whose own statutory accounts are filed separately with the National Bank of Belgium.
In 2026, the company announced a leadership transition at chief executive level, with Olivier Biebuyck succeeding Yves Kerstens as Chief Executive Officer effective 1 June 2026.

Shareholders of NV Bekaert SA
NV Bekaert SA is listed on Euronext Brussels, so its shareholder disclosure follows Belgium’s transparency-notification regime rather than a full shareholder register. Under Article 12 of the company’s Articles of Association, shareholders must notify NV Bekaert SA and the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) when a holding crosses the legal thresholds of 5% (and multiples of 5%) or the statutory thresholds of 3% and 7.50% of voting rights.
The most recent notification concerning the controlling shareholder, with a threshold-crossing date of 24 September 2025 (published 26 September 2025), confirmed that Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert holds 17,558,786 voting rights, equal to 33.87% of the 51,839,461 total voting rights then outstanding. The notification states this interest is held indirectly, through a chain of controlled undertakings, and that Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert is not itself controlled by another entity. The same notification recorded that NV Bekaert SA held 3.45% of its own voting rights in treasury (2,639,879 linked to outstanding securities and 1,787,104 not linked to securities).
A separate notification, effective 3 October 2025, recorded Norges Bank (the central bank of Norway, acting as principal as part of its central-bank investment activities) crossing downward through the 3% threshold, to 2.98% (2.55% in direct voting rights plus 0.44% in equivalent financial instruments). Because this fell below the statutory 3% threshold, no further notification is required from Norges Bank unless it re-crosses a threshold. Beyond these disclosed positions, the remaining shares are held by institutional and retail investors whose individual holdings have not crossed a notification threshold and are therefore not separately disclosed.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as an ultimate beneficial owner in these transparency notifications. Control is exercised indirectly through Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert, an administration foundation which the same filings describe as not controlled by any other entity. Because the notification does not disclose the foundation’s own governing board or beneficiaries, an individual UBO cannot be established from this source.
Data availability
Shareholder information for NV Bekaert SA is major-shareholders-only: under Belgian transparency law only holdings that have crossed a 3%, 5% (or multiple) or 7.50% threshold are publicly disclosed, so the complete shareholder base is not published. Figures above are as of the most recent disclosed threshold crossings (24 September 2025 and 3 October 2025).

Group Structure
Group structure of NV Bekaert SA
NV Bekaert SA is not an independent, standalone company: it is the listed parent company of the Bekaert Group and is itself controlled, indirectly through a chain of controlled undertakings, by Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert, which held 33.87% of voting rights per a transparency notification effective 24 September 2025. That notification states Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert is not controlled by any other entity, making it the ultimate identifiable controlling party currently disclosed for NV Bekaert SA.
Beyond this controlling relationship, Zavia’s underlying registry and corporate-linkage data list a large number of operating subsidiaries for the Bekaert Group across Europe, the Americas and Asia, consistent with a global industrial group. These individual subsidiary entities, their registration numbers and ownership percentages have not been individually re-verified against each subsidiary’s own registry or against Bekaert’s audited list of subsidiaries for this research update, so they are not presented below as individually confirmed relationships.
Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stichting Administratiekantoor Bekaert | Belgium / Netherlands | Not disclosed in the notification | Ultimate controlling party (indirect) | 33.87% of voting rights | Active | 24 September 2025 |
Data availability
Parent-level control is verified through official transparency notifications (Partial: parent verified, subsidiaries not individually re-verified). Zavia’s underlying linkage data indicate an extensive multinational subsidiary network beneath NV Bekaert SA, but entity-level verification of each subsidiary against a primary registry was outside the scope of this research pass and is not presented as confirmed above.
