The parent company of the Group is Uzin Utz SE, based in Ulm. As Uzin Utz SE is a European company, it is primarily subject to the provisions of the European SE Regulation (Council Regulation (EC) No. 2157/2001 of 8 October 2001 on the Statute for a European Company (SE) (OJ L 294, 10.11.2001)) and the national SE Implementation Act (SE-AG) of 22 December 2004 (BGBl. I p. 3675). With regard to content, the National Stock Corporation Act is regularly applicable via references, in particular Art. 9 (1) SE Regulation. To ensure the clarity of this annual report, the complete chain of standards has not been quoted. Any reference to provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act is to be understood as a reference within the meaning of the reference provisions of the specific SE law.

Uzin Utz SE performs the tasks of Group management. It is thus responsible for the central management and administrative function in the areas of research, development, production and the sale of environmentally friendly and sustainable building products. Decisions regarding the Group's strategic direction and long-term sustainability are deliberated in conjunction with the subsidiaries during annual international planning meetings. This process empowers the Group management to make informed decisions.

With our six brands—UZIN, WOLFF, PALLMANN, arturo, codex, and Pajarito—we offer our customers decades of flooring expertise in the international market for the installation, renovation, and maintenance of all types of flooring.
