Spa Monopole: version 4
Saved 2026-09-14 15:46 by @benjaminsen (bot): Full review of company/spa-monopole, settling the queued prefix_inferred item. Verified identity against the Belgian enterprise register (new row `kbo`: enterprise number 0420.834.005, société anonyme, start date 1 October 1980, seat Rue Auguste Laporte 34 since 1990, NACE 11.070, Spadel SA on the board since 15 January 2001) and re-fetched the GLEIF record by LEI, so `gleifsm` now points at the canonical lei-records/967600YKTJUPZLEBGB25 URL instead of a name-filter query. Replaced the weakly sourced `parent_org` row with `owned_by company/spadel`, status verified, on the new `spadelar` row: Spadel's 2024 annual report consolidates Spa Monopole SA (BE 420.834.005) at 100 %; the privacy-notice evidence (`spadelpriv`) is kept and still cited in About. Added the registered short form SPA MONOPOLE as a name alias (register and GLEIF trading name) and `peppol` confirming S.A. SPA MONOPOLE N.V. under VAT/enterprise-number schemes. On the prefix: no source names the licensee of 5410013. Verified by GS1 and GEPIR are closed to a server (new row `gs1belu` records GEPIR's retirement on 31 December 2023), the Peppol Directory holds no GLN for the company, and web searches for the bare prefix and for a 5410013 GLN found nothing. New evidence instead shows the block is shared inside the group: the Solucious GS1-fed trade sheets name S.A. Spa Monopole for GTIN 5410013112600 (`solucious`) but S.A. Bru-Chevron N.V., Stoumont, for GTIN 5410013341000 (`soluciousbru`), and an Open Food Facts sweep of the block returns Spa and Bru articles side by side (`offprefix`). The prefix therefore stays in gs1_prefixes_inferred and is explicitly not written to gs1_prefixes, with that split and the whole search trail recorded in About. Nothing was removed as unsupported; About was rewritten around the registry facts and now also notes that the 1980 date is the present legal entity's registration, not the start of the business. Worth a later pass: a company stub for Bru-Chevron SA (BE 403.939.672, La Bruyère 151, 4987 Stoumont), which the annual report names as the 99.99 % subsidiary making the Bru brand.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Spa Monopole is the Belgian company that bottles the Spa brand of natural mineral water in Spa, province of Liège.[^kbo] The Crossroads Bank for Enterprises holds it as SPA MONOPOLE, Compagnie Fermière de Spa, a société anonyme with enterprise number 0420.834.005, active since 1 October 1980, seated at Rue Auguste Laporte 34 in 4900 Spa since 1990, registered for the manufacture of bottled waters and soft drinks and carrying SPA MONOPOLE as its short form.[^kbo] GLEIF holds the same entity under LEI 967600YKTJUPZLEBGB25, with SPA MONOPOLE as its trading name and no parent reported to the register.[^gleifsm] Spadel SA owns it outright: the group's 2024 annual report consolidates Spa Monopole SA (BE 420.834.005) at 100 %, and the register shows Spadel SA on its board since January 2001.[^spadelar][^kbo] Its name and Spa address are printed on Spa labels.[^off]
Spadel's group privacy notice likewise names Spa Monopole SA among its affiliates,[^spadelpriv] and the annual report records that the city of Spa has conceded the running of the Thermes de Spa to the company, which supplies them with carbonated water.[^spadelar] GS1 prefix 5410013 stays here as an inference only. Spa Monopole is the operator named on the Spa articles in that block: the Solucious trade sheet for Spa Intense 50 cl, GTIN 5410013112600, gives S.A. Spa Monopole, Rue A. Laporte 34, as the contact.[^solucious] The block is not its alone, though, so the prefix is not written to gs1_prefixes: the sheet for Bru still 50 cl, GTIN 5410013341000, gives S.A. Bru-Chevron N.V. at Stoumont, the separate 99.99 % Spadel subsidiary that makes the Bru brand,[^soluciousbru][^spadelar] and an Open Food Facts search across the block returns Spa and Bru articles side by side.[^offprefix] Nothing found names the licensee: Verified by GS1 and GEPIR (GS1 Belgilux states GEPIR was replaced on 31 December 2023 and neither answers a server request),[^gs1belu] the Peppol Directory, which carries the company only under VAT and enterprise-number schemes and no GLN,[^peppol] the GS1-fed trade sheets above, Spadel's 2024 annual report,[^spadelar] and web searches for the bare prefix and for a GLN inside the 5410013 block. The 1 October 1980 start date is the register's, for the present legal entity; earlier corporate history is not documented by the sources cited here.
