PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION
PRECISION CASTPARTS CORP. is a business corporation registered in the State of Oregon, United States. The Oregon Secretary of State holds the registration under registry number 5749114, records the entity type as DOMESTIC BUSINESS CORPORATION, and gives the registry date as 25 October 1956. The registration is present in the Secretary of State’s Active Businesses – ALL open-data extract as refreshed on 29 September 2026, so the registration was active on that date. Active registration reflects compliance with state filing requirements and is not evidence of trading.
The registration number carried by this profile’s data feed, 200300610120, does not resolve against the Oregon register and cannot be an Oregon number: no registry number among the register’s 1,580,777 rows exceeds nine digits.
Oregon records the principal place of business and the mailing address as 5885 Meadows Rd Ste 620, Lake Oswego, OR 97035.
Oregon records no activity data, so the following comes from the company’s own filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. In the Form 10-KT covering the transition period 30 March 2015 to 3 January 2016 — filed by this Oregon corporation under Commission File Number 1-10348 and IRS Employer Identification Number 93-0460598, at the Lake Oswego address the SEC holds for the registrant — the company described itself as a worldwide manufacturer of complex metal components and products, supplying investment castings, forgings, fasteners and fastener systems and aerostructures for aerospace and power applications, and operating three segments: Investment Cast Products, Forged Products and Airframe Products. That description is consolidated and group-level, and it is a decade old: the company’s SEC reporting obligations were suspended in February 2016 and no more recent public business description has been filed.
Data availability
Oregon publishes entity name, entity type, registry number, registry date, addresses, registered agent and authorised representatives. It publishes no industry classification, financial data, headcount or activity description. The provider record for this profile also carries a registration number that does not exist in Oregon, a legal form of “Public Limited Company” (not an Oregon entity type, and not a US legal form) and a Portland, OR 97239 city and postcode that match the company’s pre-2016 principal executive office rather than the address Oregon currently holds.

Shareholders
Shareholders of PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION
Oregon publishes no shareholder register. The Secretary of State’s register extract carries entity, address, registered-agent and authorised-representative fields only, so no shareholder or beneficial-ownership data is available from the jurisdiction of registration.
US Securities and Exchange Commission filings establish that the company was taken private. On 29 January 2016 Precision Castparts Corp. completed a merger under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated 8 August 2015 with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and NW Merger Sub Inc., after which it survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Form 8-K, Item 2.01, event date 29 January 2016). The New York Stock Exchange filed Form 25 on 1 February 2016 to delist and deregister the common stock and the series A preferred stock purchase rights. On 11 February 2016 the company filed Form 15-12B certifying suspension of its reporting duty under Sections 13(a) and 15(d), and stated the approximate number of holders of record of its common stock, without par value, as one.
Since February 2016 there has therefore been no continuing public shareholder disclosure for this entity: no proxy statement, no Schedule 13D or 13G filings and no Section 16 insider filings. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. does not publish shareholder registers for its subsidiaries.
The sole holder of record identified in the Form 15 is a record holder, which is not in itself the same as a beneficial owner; the beneficial position is established instead by the 8-K statement that the company survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. No shareholder is named in any of these filings.
Data availability
No shareholder names, holdings or percentages are published by Oregon or by any current SEC filing of this entity. The absence reflects US state and federal disclosure rules for a privately held corporation, not evidence that there are no shareholders. No beneficial-ownership register applies to this entity: the US beneficial-ownership reporting regime under the Corporate Transparency Act is not a public register. The provider record for this profile contains no shareholder data, only a generic explanatory note about US state-level filing.

Officers
5
Directors and officers of PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION
The Oregon Secretary of State’s register extract holds three associated-name rows against registry number 5749114, and none of them is an individual. Oregon’s own role labels are preserved below.
- REGISTERED AGENT — NATIONAL REGISTERED AGENTS, INC. (Oregon registry number 46258083), 780 COMMERICAL ST SE STE 100, SALEM, OR 97301 (street name spelled as the register holds it). A registered agent is an address for service of process and is not a director or officer.
- PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS — 5885 MEADOWS RD STE 620, LAKE OSWEGO, OR 97035.
- MAILING ADDRESS — 5885 MEADOWS RD STE 620, LAKE OSWEGO, OR 97035.
Oregon’s extract does carry an AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE role type, used on 117,631 rows across the register, but it records no authorised representative for this registration. No director or officer name is therefore available from Oregon’s published register data. Nationality for any officer: Not disclosed.
How the provider’s five records compare. The data feed behind this profile supplies five individuals, all flagged ACTIVE and none with an appointment or resignation date: ROBER COOKE (General Partner), JEFFREY ZIOLKOWSKI (General Partner), FINELLI VAGNER (Officer), RUTH BEYER (Manager) and ROGER BECKER (General Partner). Oregon’s record confirms none of them. No individual of any name appears against registry number 5749114. Three of the five are labelled “General Partner”, which is not a role an Oregon business corporation has — it is a partnership role, and Oregon records this entity as a DOMESTIC BUSINESS CORPORATION. “ROBER COOKE” appears to be a truncated first name and “FINELLI VAGNER” may be a reversed name. The address on the RUTH BEYER row, 4650 S MACADAM AVE STE 400, PORTLAND, OR 97239, is the company’s pre-2016 principal executive office as given in its SEC filings, not the address Oregon currently holds. All five are treated as unverified and none is published as an officer of this company.
One officer identification is available from an official filing, for a single historical date: Shawn R. Hagel signed the company’s Form 15-12B on 11 February 2016 as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. That evidences the role on that date only and is not evidence of a current appointment.
Data availability
No current director or officer of this entity can be verified from a public source. Oregon’s open-data extract exposes only the four associated-name types listed in its schema (registered agent, principal place of business, mailing address, authorised representative); the president and secretary details an Oregon business corporation reports on its annual report are not fields in this extract, so the absence of names here is not proof that the Secretary of State holds none. The company’s SEC reporting obligations were suspended on 11 February 2016, so no current officer list is filed with the SEC either. Dates of birth, appointment dates and resignation dates: not disclosed by any source consulted.

Data-provider feed — rows as supplied to Zavia for Oregon Secretary of State, including entries the profile above does not cover. These rows are not a verbatim copy of the register: they have been found to duplicate the same person under different spellings and to keep a status of Active after an appointment ended. Where they disagree with the profile above, the profile is the checked version.
Group Structure
Group structure of PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION
The Oregon Secretary of State’s register publishes no parent, subsidiary or ownership linkage. The group relationship below is established from filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Relationship type: wholly owned subsidiary. Parent: Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a Delaware corporation.
- Instrument: Agreement and Plan of Merger dated 8 August 2015 among Berkshire Hathaway Inc., NW Merger Sub Inc. (an Oregon corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) and Precision Castparts Corp.
- Completion date: 29 January 2016. Merger Sub merged with and into the company, with the company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Source: Form 8-K, Item 2.01, event date 29 January 2016, filed 4 February 2016.
- Extent of ownership: the company’s own Form 10-KT states that “On January 29, 2016, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (‘Berkshire’) acquired all outstanding shares of Precision Castparts Corp.” Together with the 8-K’s “wholly owned subsidiary” wording, that is an explicit statement covering all outstanding shares. No filing states an ownership percentage numerically.
- Current standing: Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Exhibit 21 to its Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025, filed 2 March 2026, lists “Precision Castparts Corp.” with domicile Oregon among the subsidiaries of the registrant.
Subsidiaries of this company: not established here. Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Exhibit 21 is a flat alphabetical list of company names and domiciles with no ownership hierarchy, so entities on it that were historically part of the Precision Castparts group — for example Wyman-Gordon Company (Massachusetts) — cannot be attributed to this company from that exhibit. Oregon publishes no subsidiary linkage, and the company has filed no subsidiary exhibit of its own since 2016.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Exhibit 21 carries a footnote stating that each named subsidiary is not necessarily a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X and that Berkshire has several additional subsidiaries not named. Any revenue, headcount, plant or product figures published by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. describe Berkshire’s consolidated group and are not attributed to this Oregon registration here.
Data availability
The parent relationship, its instrument and its completion date are documented. Not available: any ownership percentage stated as a figure, any intermediate holding company between Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and this entity, and any list of this entity’s own subsidiaries. The provider record for this profile carries no group data, only a generic note stating that no parent, subsidiary or ownership linkage is available — which is incorrect for this company, since the parent relationship is documented in SEC filings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION do?
Precision Castparts Corp. is a manufacturer of complex metal components and products. In its last annual report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a Form 10-KT for the transition period ended 3 January 2016, it described itself as supplying investment castings, forgings, fasteners and fastener systems and aerostructures for aerospace and power applications, through three segments: Investment Cast Products, Forged Products and Airframe Products. That description is consolidated and group-level, and it is a decade old: the company's SEC reporting obligations were suspended in February 2016 and no more recent public business description has been filed.
Who owns PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION?
Oregon publishes no shareholder register. SEC filings establish that the company was taken private: following the merger completed on 29 January 2016, its Form 15-12B of 11 February 2016 reported the approximate number of holders of record of its common stock, without par value, as one. No shareholder is named in any public filing, and there has been no continuing public shareholder disclosure for this entity since February 2016.
Who is PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
No public register identifies an ultimate beneficial owner of Precision Castparts Corp. The documented ownership chain stops at its parent: the Form 8-K for the merger completed on 29 January 2016 states that the company survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the company's Form 10-KT states that Berkshire acquired all outstanding shares. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is itself a widely held listed company, so no natural person is identified as an ultimate beneficial owner of this entity in any public source. US beneficial-ownership reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act is not a public register.

Who are the officers/directors of PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION?

Can Zavia monitor changes to PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION's ownership over time?

Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including United States, so records like PRECISION CASTPARTS CORPORATION's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.

This record is sourced directly from Oregon Secretary of State and was last synced on 30 September 2026.
