Rodiek & Co. GmbH
Rodiek & Co. GmbH is a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) registered at the Amtsgericht Bremen under HRB 11851 HB, with its registered seat in Bremen. The register sheet is current (“aktuell”); it holds 16 entries, the latest dated 21 January 2026. The company works in waste management and recycling technology and the circular economy. It advises on recycling projects, runs training, supplies new and used recycling machinery and equipment, and supports projects after they are completed.
The company came into being through the conversion (formwechselnde Umwandlung) of the general partnership Rodiek & Co., then seated in Brake and registered at the Amtsgericht Brake under HRA 1163, under a conversion resolution of 24 December 1987. Its first entry as a GmbH is dated 15 March 1988. On 17 October 2005 the paper register sheet was transferred to the electronic register. The share capital is EUR 25,600: a resolution of 3 April 2008 converted the original DM 50,000 to euros and rounded it up.
The registered objects were last changed by a shareholders’ resolution of 14 April 2023 (entered 24 April 2023). They now cover services in waste and recycling technology and the circular economy, consulting in those fields, and trade in vehicles and goods of all kinds, except trade that needs a licence. The registered business address is Wilhelm-Karmann-Straße 5, 28237 Bremen. The older domain rodiek-gmbh.de redirects to nehlsen-rodiek.com. That site’s imprint names Rodiek & Co. GmbH with the same register number and the VAT ID DE114428033, which the EU VIES service confirmed as valid on 22 October 2026.
According to the company’s website, Rodiek & Co. GmbH works mainly with partners in low-income countries. Its projects include a collection and sorting centre for recyclables in Guinea, PET-recycling consultancy and recycling stations in Ghana, a machine park and recycling stations in Luanda (Angola), recycling work in Serbia, and a plastic-credit process model called ValuCred. The website gives no dates for these projects.
No company-level revenue or headcount is published. For the financial years 2014 to 2021, the Bundesanzeiger index lists the company under the exemption in §§ 264(3), 264b HGB, so it did not publish standalone accounts for those years. Accounts for financial years from 2022 onward are filed with the Unternehmensregister, which was not checked for this profile.

Shareholders of Rodiek & Co. GmbH
The company’s registered share capital is EUR 25,600 (Handelsregister, Amtsgericht Bremen HRB 11851 HB). The shareholder list filed with the register (Gesellschafterliste) was not retrieved for this profile, so the shareholding has not been checked against a register filing.
Three primary sources point to the same shareholder. First, on its own website the company describes itself as “a wholly owned subsidiary of Nehlsen AG”. Second, the register records a profit-transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) with Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft, Bremen (HRB 20365 HB), dated 6 November 2008 and amended on 11 October 2021. Third, the Bundesanzeiger index lists Rodiek & Co. GmbH as exempt under § 264(3) HGB for the financial years 2014 to 2021, with reference to the consolidated accounts of Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft. The profit-transfer agreement and the exemption both show control. Neither states a percentage.
Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft no longer exists under that name or number. A general meeting on 17 August 2026 resolved to convert it into Nehlsen SE & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Bremen, HRA 31047 HB), and the conversion was entered on 3 September 2026, when the old HRB 20365 HB sheet was closed. A Formwechsel keeps the same legal person, so any holding in Rodiek & Co. GmbH now sits with Nehlsen SE & Co. KG. Both the Rodiek register sheet and the company’s website still use the old AG name.
This page’s shareholder table, which comes from a data provider, shows “Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft” with 100% (one share of EUR 25,600). The 100% figure matches the company’s own statement. The single-share structure is not verified, and the holder’s name is out of date.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner has been verified. The intermediate ownership chain above Nehlsen SE & Co. KG cannot be turned into effective percentages, because the register shows only limited partners’ liability contributions (Hafteinlagen), not capital or voting shares.
Data availability
Partial. A German GmbH’s shareholder list is filed with the commercial register, but it was not obtained here. The German Transparency Register has been closed to general public inspection since the CJEU judgment of 22 November 2022 (C-37/20, C-601/20), so beneficial-ownership data is Restricted.

Officers
Directors and officers of Rodiek & Co. GmbH
The current printout of the commercial register (Amtsgericht Bremen, HRB 11851 HB, retrieved 22 October 2026) lists two managing directors (Geschäftsführer): Christian Dinter and Timo Krause. The register entered Christian Dinter’s appointment on 24 January 2023 and Timo Krause’s on 21 January 2026. Each may represent the company alone and is released from the restriction on self-dealing in § 181 BGB. The company’s imprint names the same two managing directors. The current printout records no Prokura.
Under the articles, a sole managing director represents the company alone. Where there are several, the company is represented by two managing directors jointly, or by one managing director together with a Prokurist, unless sole power of representation has been granted.
The chronological printout shows three former managing directors. Jens Bruns was the managing director on the sheet when it was transferred to the electronic register; his removal was entered on 18 October 2005. Peter Hoffmeyer served from 18 October 2005 to 30 January 2008. Claudia Bunkenborg had sole Prokura from 28 December 2005, became managing director on 24 July 2006, and left that role on 24 April 2023. All of these dates are register entry dates (Tag der Eintragung), not necessarily the dates on which the changes took effect.
Recent officer changes
- 21 January 2026: Timo Krause entered as managing director.
- 24 April 2023: Claudia Bunkenborg entered as no longer managing director.
- 24 January 2023: Christian Dinter entered as managing director.

Group Structure
Group structure of Rodiek & Co. GmbH
Rodiek & Co. GmbH belongs to the Nehlsen group of Bremen. Its verified immediate parent is the former Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft, which has been Nehlsen SE & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Bremen, HRA 31047 HB) since a change of legal form entered on 3 September 2026. The link rests on three sources: a profit-transfer agreement recorded in Rodiek’s register sheet, the company’s own statement that it is wholly owned, and its exemption from publishing accounts because it was included in Nehlsen Aktiengesellschaft’s consolidated accounts for the financial years 2014 to 2021.
Nehlsen SE & Co. KG is a limited partnership. Its general partner is Nehlsen Management SE, Düsseldorf (HRB 112415). Panta Re AG, Bremen (HRB 22628 HB) is registered as a limited partner. Five natural persons are also registered as limited partners. The register gives each limited partner’s liability contribution, not capital or voting shares, so no percentage can be stated and no ultimate parent is established. In their GLEIF records, both Nehlsen SE & Co. KG and Panta Re AG report no accounting-consolidation parent, giving the reason “no known person”. No subsidiaries of Rodiek & Co. GmbH were identified.

Data availability
Partial. The parent link is verified, but the parent’s percentage is not checked against a register filing, and the structure above the parent cannot be expressed in percentages. The provider group tree on this page is out of date. It shows “Nehlsen AG” as the parent under its closed AG sheet and Panta Re AG as Nehlsen’s parent, and its German “registration numbers” are provider keys (postcode plus register number), not register numbers. Its other entities were not verified for this profile. Rodiek Grundstücks- und Verwaltungs GmbH & Co. KG (Lemwerder) has a similar name, but no link to it was established.
