Adaptation and Synergy Learning from nature means learning perfection. An example that we treat with respect. A perfect interplay of forces requires the maximum degree of individual readiness for development from all those involved. In the interests of optimum adaptation to the requirements of the market and our customers, our performance structure as a system supplier is continually being developed further. This also includes compliance with internationally blinding industrial standards. Like the production locations at Ulm (UZIN) and Haaksbergen (Unipro B.V.), the Vaihingen equipment manufacturer Wolff and Herrmann Frank have also been certified to ISO since 2010. »» A further step towards merging of product quality, design requirements and practical suitability has been made by Unipro B.V. with the completely new synthetic resin flooring concept of Arturo Unique Flooring, which replaces the brand of Qeshfloor Industrial Flooring. The Dutch specialist for synthetic resin flooring presented the optimum flooring solution in the commercial/industrial application area at the BAU exhibition in Munich: Mortar floors, stone flooring, sealants and levelling coatings on an epoxy resin or polyurethane resin basis can be finished to produce a unique end result with Arturo. »» As the partner to the parquet-laying business, the trade and decision-makers in interior design, JP Coatings felt itself duty-bound to increase its range and services covering all aspects of the new laying, renovation and value preservation of parquet flooring: Pallmann, the professional in the area of surface finishing, with a tradition going back over 100 years, now offers its customers perfectly matched products for every level of flooring construction – from the right substrate preparation through to the cleaning and care of parquet floors. »» “From the root to the crown” – under this slogan, Pallmann presented its new, complete range of products for parquet flooring for the first time at the BAU exhibition. »» In 2010, the specialist departments of Quality Management and International R&D initiated an ambitious project for the maximum harmonisation of group companies at the global level. This is intended to ensure that production worldwide takes place according to the same standards at all the different production locations of the Uzin Utz Group. This will enable identical product qualities to be turned out in future at all production locations. »» Ecological responsibility, product innovation and sustainability are traditionally not contradictory at Uzin Utz AG: in 2010, 76.2% of company sales were generated with products which comply with strict ecological emission requirements (such as the “Blue Angel” and Emicode). Uzin Utz AG therefore stands out not only for its comprehensive flooring system expertise, but also continues to set the highest standards in the sector with regard to its ecological responsibility. 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 Birth of the Utz-triplets Amelie, Julian and Philipp (4th generation).
