Group Structure

Group structure of SMITHS GROUP PLC

SMITHS GROUP PLC has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 53 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 12 jurisdictions. 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.

  • Modular Metal Fabricators, Inc. (United States)
  • Smith Industries GmbH (Germany)
  • Seebach Filtration Usa, Inc. (United States)

Data availability

Those 53 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, United States, Germany, South Africa, Sweden, Canada, and 6 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. 10 of the 53 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
