I am understanding that this is a member of a group of companies. I had sort of wondered about the best wording. I really don't like "under the roof" or under the umbrella" so much.
Thanks.

under the auspices of...
translates as "unter dem Patronat von" and applies probably more to events than companies, but I think could be used here...
Much simpler would be to say "is part of the XXX group of companies" and if it's legally correct in your context, even "is a subsidiary"
