TROX GMBH BECOMES TROX SE
After 74 successful years, TROX GmbH takes a significant step in its corporate history and transforms itself into a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea, SE for short). The conversion process takes place by means of a so-called chain change of legal form, in which TROX GmbH is temporarily converted into a stock corporation (AG) for a legal second before it is finally renamed TROX SE.With over two thirds of its turnover generated outside Germany, worldwide activities on six continents and numerous national and international subsidiaries, TROX SE will in future act as the parent company of the globally active TROX GROUP. The new legal form underlines the company's self-image as an internationally oriented organisation and promotes the open, international corporate culture.TROX remains a strong partnerThe long-term shareholder structure with the Heinz Trox Foundation as the main shareholder remains unchanged. The company would like to clarify that the conversion is not associated with an IPO. As a foundation-affiliated group of companies, TROX remains true to its values and traditions and continues to focus on sustainable and long-term successful corporate development. The Heinz Trox Foundation remains the sole "shareholder", in keeping with the spirit of Heinz Trox.Identity remains, legal form changesAs a result of the conversion, the economic and legal identity of the company will remain the same - only the legal form will change. The entry of TROX SE in the commercial register is expected to be completed at the beginning of April, but by May 2025 at the latest. The company's tax number and VAT identification number will remain unchanged.However, due to the two-stage change of legal form, the commercial register number will be changed twice, from a GmbH to an AG and then to an SE. These new numbers will only be announced after the respective registrations. TROX is a global market leader in the development, manufacture and sale of components, units and systems for the ventilation and air conditioning of rooms. With 33 subsidiaries in 27 countries on five continents, 20 production facilities and other importers and representatives, the company is present in over 70 countries. The TROX GROUP currently generates an annual turnover of 725 million euros with around 4,950 employees worldwide.For further information and queries about TROX, visit our landing page or please contact TROX GmbHPress Officevoice: +49 2845 202 - 561press-de@troxgroup.com
