Planton GmbH
Planton GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 5568 KI Kiel, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 10 November 2004 and lists its registered address as Kiel, Germany. 5 shareholders are on record for Planton GmbH, 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 Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 26 October 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for Planton GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is Eurofins Food Testing Residues and Contaminants Germany Holding GmbH, holding 49.6% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Eurofins Food Testing Residues and Contaminants Germany Holding GmbH at 30.8%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 6 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
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.

Officers
4
Two of the 4 officer records shown for Planton GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Michael Kleine (appointed 2004-11-10) and Andreas Werner Schmidt both serve as Geschäftsführer (managing director). The remaining 2 records shown (Florian Grundler and Felix Bredenow) are former appointments that have since been resigned.
Management authority at Planton GmbH 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
Planton GmbH sits 4 levels below its ultimate parent, EUROFINS SCIENTIFIC SE, registered in Luxembourg. 1 subsidiary is recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above Planton GmbH is Eurofins Food Testing Residues and Contaminants Germany Holding GmbH, holding 99.5% as filed in Planton GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). EUROFINS SCIENTIFIC SE sits further up the chain, a link derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions rather than stated in a single document. 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 1 subsidiary spans Germany 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.
