UFLOOR Systems Inc. becomes UZIN UTZ North America, Inc.

As of January 1sr, 2018 Uzin Utz AG, Ulm, Germany announced part of its global growth strategy by changing the name of its North American subsidiary, UFLOOR Systems, Inc. to UZIN UTZ North America, Inc. This change of name has also occurred with all of its subsidiaries worldwide and will be followed by a global reworking of the company's visual image.

"In recent years, we have been able to steadily expand our market share and our sales revenues in the area of our flooring systems - both nationally and internationally. We feel that there is still more potential, which can partly be achieved by adapting our corporate structure to the needs of the future. The change of name is therefore an important phase in creating a solid foundation for further growth within a uniform corporate image. In addition, the new company name reflects the close connection and position of UZIN UTZ North America as a full subsidiary of the UZIN UTZ Group, which is active worldwide", Philipp Utz, member of the Executive Board and great-grandson of the company founder, Gerog Utz. "The change of name allows our companies to make even better use of the high level of awareness of the UZIN UTZ corporate brand for their own business activities", continued Philipp Utz.

The company, with headquarters in Ulm, Germany, manufacturers product systems for laying floor coverings of all types including surface treatment products, along with the machines for laying the floorings, and distributes these throughout Europe, North America and Asia. The UZIN UTZ Group is now active in 49 countries throughout the world. This measure represents a further milestone in the company's globally focused strategy and will further strengthen its competitiveness worldwide.
