Private company
Who owns Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd.
One company in the researched set discloses a stake in Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd., none of it sized by anyone who discloses it. Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd. 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.

Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd. designs, manufactures and sells surveying instruments, principally the mechanical and optical total stations sold under the Nikon brand, along with related construction and measurement products. It was formed in 2003 as a 50/50 venture in which Nikon contributed 1.2 billion yen in cash and Trimble contributed 500 million yen in cash plus 700 million yen in its own common stock, and it took over Nikon's surveying instrument business. Inside Japan the venture distributes both Nikon and Trimble survey products, including satellite positioning receivers and robotic total stations, while outside Japan Trimble is the exclusive distributor of the Nikon branded survey and construction instruments. Manufacturing and development run from the Zao operations center near Shiroishi in Miyagi Prefecture.

Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd. 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 Trimble and Nikon sign definitive agreement to form joint venture for survey (Geospatial World), Trimble, Nikon set up Japanese venture (Via Satellite) and Nikon-Trimble introduces updated Nikon total stations (Spectra Geospatial). 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.
- Trimble Inc.. Same pattern as the CTCT row above. Trimble's FY2025 10-K (filed 25 Feb 2026), Item 1, still describes the venture in the present tense: 'We maintain a joint venture with Nikon which focuses on the design and manufacture in Japan of surveying instruments including mechanical total stations and related products,' and Nikon is named alongside Caterpillar, AGCO and Hilti as an ongoing relationship in Item 1A. No filing from FY2020 onward gives a percentage or individual carrying value; the last one found that does is the FY2010 10-K (fetched in this task), whose Note 5 'Joint Ventures' reads: 'On March 28, 2003, Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd (Nikon-Trimble), a joint venture, was formed by the Company and Nikon Corporation. The joint venture began operations in July 2003 and is 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by Nikon, with equal voting rights.' value_usd is null because it sits inside the same undisaggregated combined equity-method balance described on the CTCT and PTx Trimble rows; pct_of_target uses the last filed figure (50) with the same staleness caveat. 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 Nikon-Trimble Co., Ltd. where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
