With effect from February 29, 2024, 25.1% of the shares in the Austrian company FP Floor Protector GmbH were acquired. This decision is a strategic step towards strengthening and expanding the company's technological leadership in the flooring trade.

The kick-off date and official starting signal for our switch from the existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to a new solution in May 2024 laid the foundation for a successful digital transformation. Through the early involvement of the international locations, consistent change management and a clear process structure of the process house, this project should lead the Uzin Utz Group into a new development phase and ensure the sustainable success of the Group.

The administration building on the company site in Ulm, which was acquired two years ago, was renovated and refurbished. Since fall 2024, office workplaces have been available there for employees who were previously housed in externally rented rooms. The warehouses there are also mainly used by Uzin Utz SE, so that externally rented logistics space could be eliminated.
