Shareholders of VOLLMER UK LIMITED
Companies House records for VOLLMER UK LIMITED (company number 00503995) show two share classes, both held by the German company VOLLMER WERKE MASCHINEN FABRIK GMBH (also filed as Vollmer Werke Maschinenfabrik GmbH, Biberach an der Riss, Germany, registered at Amtsgericht Ulm under HRB 640007): 500,000 Ordinary shares of GBP 1.00 each, representing 100% of that class, and 250,000 Redeemable Ordinary shares of GBP 1.00 each, recorded at a 33.33% holding for this entity within that class. The latest confirmation statement was made on 21 February 2026 (filed 17 March 2026) and reported no changes to the share structure since the prior statement. The same German company is also listed as VOLLMER UK LIMITED’s sole corporate director. No other shareholder is disclosed in the records reviewed, so disclosure of the redeemable-ordinary class appears partial, as the holders of the remaining approximately 66.67% of that class are not shown.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified ultimate beneficial owner can be reported. VOLLMER UK LIMITED’s persons-with-significant-control (PSC) filing, notified 6 March 2019, states that the company "knows or has reasonable cause to believe that there is no registrable person or registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company." This statement remains active and has not been superseded. It follows an earlier, since-withdrawn statement (21 February 2017) that a registrable person existed but had not been identified. Because no PSC or registrable relevant legal entity is currently disclosed, no UBO or effective ownership percentage can be reported, notwithstanding VOLLMER WERKE MASCHINEN FABRIK GMBH’s direct shareholding.
Data availability
Direct shareholder information for VOLLMER UK LIMITED is major shareholders only / partial: the principal corporate shareholder is identified for two share classes, but the full cap table and the remaining redeemable-ordinary holders are not shown. UBO information is not disclosed, since the company’s active PSC statement records no registrable person or entity.

VOLLMER UK LIMITED is not independent: Companies House shareholder and officer records show a verified corporate relationship with Vollmer Werke Maschinenfabrik GmbH (also filed as VOLLMER WERKE MASCHINEN FABRIK GMBH), a German company registered at Amtsgericht Ulm under HRB 640007 and based in Biberach an der Riss, Germany.
