Economic Sustainability
Economic sustainability means squaring economic success and investments with social and ecological responsibility. The ability to plan investments in advance is required here.
Integrating economic, social and environmental responsibility is essential for sustainable business success and continuous corporate growth. Our strategy to ensure competitiveness includes forward-looking action and proactive measures to counter current global challenges. In the face of geopolitical uncertainties, fluctuations in the energy markets and supply chain disruptions, focusing on innovation in product development and customised solutions remains our key to success. We are strengthening our market position through innovative ideas, first-class service, strong networks and the expansion and improvement of our production facilities.
Strategic investments and the development of efficient logistics strategies are at the heart of our planning to enable flexible responses to market changes. In a dynamically growing environment, the continuous adaptation of internal structures and communication channels is of great importance. Through early and close coordination, we integrate local perspectives into an overarching overall strategy. We also promote the exchange of experience, the application of best practices and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to share knowledge across the company and drive innovation.
This holistic approach not only ensures our ability to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions, but also strengthens our ability to remain successful and competitive in the long term.

Growth and vision
We focus on sustainable growth globally, which is characterised by careful planning and strategic investments in new locations and buildings. These investments are substantial and demonstrate our long-term commitment. In the 2025 reporting year, we took important steps to expand our locations. For example, with the acquisition of BIOFA Naturprodukte W. Hahn GmbH by our subsidiary Pallmann GmbH and a stake in ConBotics GmbH by UZIN UTZ, we made strategic investments in the future to drive innovation and open up new business areas.
BIOFA specialises in the manufacture and distribution of natural paints, natural varnishes, as well as oils and soaps for wooden and cork floors. The acquisition is intended to strengthen UZIN UTZ’s market presence in the field of sustainable construction chemicals. The integration of BIOFA products into our portfolio will enable us to tap into new market segments. In addition, the production capacities of Pallmann GmbH will be expanded. BIOFA’s research laboratory and training rooms offer ideal conditions for product training and further education. There is significant potential for synergy here, particularly for our subsidiary PALLMANN.
Uzin Utz SE is entering into a strategic and innovative partnership by acquiring a stake in the Berlin robotics start-up ConBotics. ConBotics sets new standards for the trade with AI-supported robotics solutions. With our brands Pajarito, a specialist for tools in the painting and drywall construction trade and WOLFF, a manufacturer of innovative machines for substrate preparation, Uzin Utz SE brings technological and application-oriented expertise as well as a strong international network to the cooperation. Together with ConBotics, forward-looking solutions and new standards for the industry are to be developed in the areas of robotics, automation and software control. Modern robotics can thus be integrated into the skilled trades and drive forward digitalisation in the construction industry.
