Shimadzu Corporation
Shimadzu Corporation is a registered legal entity registered in Japan under 6130001021068, and its current status with National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site is active. The company was incorporated on 5 October 2015 and lists its registered address as Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, Japan. 1 shareholder is on record for Shimadzu Corporation, 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 National Tax Agency — Corporate Number Publication Site and was last updated on 30 September 2026.

Shareholders of Shimadzu Corporation
One shareholder is currently on record for Shimadzu Corporation, reflecting the kabunushi meibo (shareholder register) maintained under Articles 121-122 of the Companies Act rather than a public filing. The largest of these is MFS SERIES TRUST X-MFS International Intrinsic Value Fund, holding 35.9% — the largest recorded stake. Because the 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.

Those 38 subsidiaries span Japan, United States, China, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, United Kingdom, and 8 more jurisdictions, 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. Seven of the 38 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
