Who owns Kemek Limited
One company in the researched set discloses a stake in Kemek Limited, none of it sized by anyone who discloses it. Kemek Limited is private, so no 13F reports it: a 13F covers exchange listed positions only. These figures exist because each holder disclosed the stake in its own filings.

Kemek is an Irish commercial explosives business that manufactures, supplies and detonates blasting products for the quarrying, mining and civil engineering industries across the island of Ireland. Its range covers ammonium nitrate fuel oil, packaged cartridge explosives and bulk emulsions sold under the Kemex and Kemex U names, delivered through mobile explosive manufacturing units that mix emulsion at the quarry face, and it backs the products with blast design, drilling advice and technical services from a network of licensed depots. The company is the 2023 rebranding of two long established operators, Irish Industrial Explosives, founded in 1964 and based at Enfield in County Meath, and Ulster Industrial Explosives, founded in 1973 at Carrickfergus in County Antrim, which now trade under a single identity. It is run as a fifty fifty venture between the French explosives group EPC and the Irish building materials company CRH.

Kemek Limited files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from About Us (Kemek Ltd), Rebrand of Irish Industrial Explosives Ltd. and Ulster Industrial Explosives Ltd. (Kemek) and CRH plc Form 10-K for 2024, Exhibit 21.1 principal subsidiaries and joint ventures (SEC). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- CRH plc. Ireland. Products/services: Commercial explosives. Not consolidated: accounted for under the equity method. CRH's FY2025 10-K reports a single combined 'Equity method investments' balance of $737 million as of 31 Dec 2025 ($620 million at 31 Dec 2024, $649 million at 31 Dec 2023, per the Adjusted ROIC reconciliation in Item 7 MD&A) covering ALL of the entities in this exhibit table together. The filing does not disclose a per-investee carrying value, so value_usd is null here per the combined-balance rule; the combined figure is recorded in notes and unknowns, not assigned to this row. sourcesource 2
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Kemek Limited where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
