Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH
Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Germany under HRB 79278 München, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is Taufkirchen, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding 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 6 October 2026.

Shareholders
2
Two shareholders are currently on record for Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH, held on the Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list), filed under §40 of the GmbHG.
The largest of these is Sigma-Aldrich B.V., holding 99% — a majority holding — followed by Sigma-Aldrich B.V. at 1%.
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
5
Four of the 5 officer records shown for Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH are current appointments, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Stephan Lahrkamp and Eric Goulet both serve as Geschäftsführer (managing director); Anne-Francoise Dugast (appointed 2013-09-24) and Jürgen Kaupp (appointed 2022-04-05) both serve as Officer. The remaining 1 record shown (Martina Oehler) is a former appointment that has since been resigned.
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding 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
Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH sits 8 levels below its ultimate parent, MERCK KG auf Aktien, registered in Germany. 2 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. Immediately above Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH is Sigma-Aldrich B.V., holding 100% as filed in Sigma-Aldrich Chemie Holding GmbH's own shareholder record with Handelsregister (Commercial Register). MERCK KG auf Aktien 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 2 subsidiaries span 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.
