WACOAL EMEA LTD is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under 00171167, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 1 November 1920 and lists its registered address as KETTERING, United Kingdom. 1 shareholder is on record for WACOAL EMEA LTD, 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 Companies House and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Directors and officers of WACOAL EMEA LTD

The Director of WACOAL EMEA LTD currently on record is Geoffrey Embley; six of the 26 officer records shown for WACOAL EMEA LTD are current appointments, filed with Companies House. The remaining 20 records shown (Robert Underhill, Anthony Thwaites and 18 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned. Management authority at WACOAL EMEA LTD 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

Group structure of WACOAL EMEA LTD

WACOAL EMEA LTD sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, WACOAL HOLDINGS CORP., registered in Japan. 8 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 8 jurisdictions. Immediately above WACOAL EMEA LTD is WACOAL EUROPE LTD, holding 100% as filed in WACOAL EMEA LTD's own shareholder record with Companies House.

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.

Data availability

Those 8 subsidiaries span United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, Poland, Germany, Ireland, and 2 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. One of the 8 go a level deeper still, with its own further subsidiaries recorded beneath it — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
