As a globally active full-range supplier in the flooring sector, we support professional floor layers in all their areas of responsibility with our six brands. The clear focus on the core competence of flooring is our worldwide concern. This enables us to develop comprehensive system solutions without having to make compromises. We offer our customers a wide range of products for soil cultivation, from construction chemical product systems and surface finishes to machines. Our goal is to optimally combine state-of-the-art technology and the wishes of our customers, while acting in a sustainable and growth-oriented manner. In order to ensure this, we are in constant exchange with floor layers and other processors of our products. We see ourselves as a partner of the trade and as the innovation engine of the industry. That is why research and development is so important to us. The focus is on the development of healthy and environmentally friendly building products. The Uzin Utz Group is active in 53 countries, 20 of which have their own production and/or sales companies (as of March 2024). The company's business focus is predominantly in Germany and the other European markets, as well as in North America. However, the company also has production facilities in China and Indonesia.

At the top of the group structure is Uzin Utz SE with its registered office in Ulm. As Uzin Utz SE is a European company, it is primarily regulated by the provisions of the European SE Regulation (COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No. 2157/2001 of October 8, 2001 on the Statute for a European company (SE) (OJ L 294 of November 10, 2001) as well as the national SE Act (SE Implementation Act) of December 22, 2004 (BGBl. I p. 3675). In terms of content, the national Stock Corporation Act regularly applies by way of references, in particular Art. 9 para. 1 SE Regulation. In order to maintain the clarity of the presentation, this annual report refrains from quoting the complete chain of norms in each case. Any reference to provisions of the Stock Corporation Act shall 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. In addition to research, development, production and sales of environmentally friendly and sustainable building products, it thus has a central management and administrative function. In annual international planning meetings, strategic and sustainable decisions are discussed together with the subsidiaries, enabling the Executive Board to make well-founded decisions. Structurally, the companies are subdivided as follows:

A detailed view of the shareholdings of all Group companies can be found in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
