Sometimes written as C.F. Peters Corporation on releases. The immediate parent since 2023 is 'Hinrichsen & Wise Holdings Limited', a UK registered company owing 100% of the issued share capital. The legal grandparent, 'Chester Music Limited' owns 75% of the issued share capital of this legal entity with the remaining 25% owned by an individual, 'Christian Hinrichsen'.
