A hundred-year balance Annual Report 2010 - Uzin Utz AG

Brief presentation of the Group
Since its foundation in the year 1911, Uzin Utz AG has developed from a small regional adhesive manufacturer
into one of the world’s leading producers of special chemicals and equipment for floor laying and treatment.
The transition to a complete supplier and system partner in matters of flooring expertise has been completed
over recent years by continual efforts at expansion and numerous acquisitions:
With the brands UZIN, Wolff, Pallmann, Arturo (formerly Qeshfloor), codex and RZ, Uzin Utz AG offers a comprehensive
range of products, systems and services covering all aspects of new laying, reservation and value
preservation of floor coverings of all types, parquet flooring, ceramic tiles and natural stone – all from its own
development and production.
The Group operates its own companies on all the most important markets in the world, and is represented in
37 other countries besides Germany. The clear focus of the Group on the core expertise of flooring is unique
throughout the world. In this way, Uzin Utz AG is successfully meeting the challenges of a globalised economy
at the international level.
The company has also long been active in the area of ecological products and resource-saving production, and
led the way as a pioneer of low-solvent and solvent-free adhesives. Twelve products of the “Ökoline” from Uzin
and two products from Pallmann now carry the environmental seal “The Blue Angel”.
We live flooring! All our group activities are aimed at extending our expertise in flooring.
