With effect from January 1, the name Unipro bv will change to UZIN UTZ Nederland
With effect from January 1, the name Unipro bv will change to UZIN UTZ Nederland bv. This step is being taken as part of the international roll-out of the growth strategy of the parent company in Ulm, Germany. The change of name will also 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 Nederland as a full subsidiary of the UZIN UTZ Group, which is active worldwide”, commented Philipp Utz, prospective member of the Executive Board and great-grandson of the company founder, Georg 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, produces building chemical 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 in Germany and abroad.
