• Strategy “PASSION 2025” completed with group revenue of 505.1 million euros

• New corporate strategy “GROW BIGGER” launched

• Investments in future technologies in the construction sector

Uzin Utz successfully concludes its corporate strategy “PASSION 2025” with record revenue and launches its new growth strategy “GROW BIGGER”. Over the past five years, the globally active full-service provider of flooring systems has pursued its set goals in defined key areas – Profit, People, Products & Services, and Planet. The result: For the first time, the group has surpassed the 500 million euros revenue mark – a strong foundation for the further development of the corporate group, which will begin its new strategy in 2026.

Uzin Utz is a leading player in the flooring industry. The company, with its group brands Uzin, Wolff, Pallmann, Arturo, Codex, and Pajarito, has stood for quality and reliable expertise in flooring installation for 115 years. In fiscal year 2025, the construction industry stabilized in the markets relevant to the group, which had a positive impact on revenue growth. Uzin Utz is now focused on further growth. “With our strategy Passion, we have demonstrated that we can successfully implement clearly structured goals. It is the best foundation we could hope for as we take the next step”, Philipp Utz, CSO of Uzin Utz SE, emphasizes. “With the new strategy “GROW BIGGER”, we have now launched a growth plan for the entire company, set new priorities across five key areas, and ushered in a transformation”, Christian Richter, CFO of Uzin Utz SE, adds.

The corporaze strategy “GROW BIGGER” succeeds “PASSION 2025”

In fiscal year 2025, Uzin Utz surpassed the revenue mark of 500 million euros for the first time, marking a successful conclusion to the previous strategic phase. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to 40.4 million euros, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 8.0% – the stated target of the strategy PASSION 2025. “Focusing on one strategic priority per year – Profit, People, Products & Services, and Planet – was an effective management tool that delivered measurable results”, Julian Utz, COO of Uzin Utz SE, explains. “Investments in automation, digitalization, and the development of innovative products have put us in a strong starting position – a solid foundation.”

Growth Meets a Vision for the Future

“With focused action, clear structures, and determination, we aim to expand our market presence and systematically tap into growth potential through our new srategy “GROW BIGGER”, Philipp Utz says. “Our approach is becoming more multifaceted.” All business units will have an even more international focus in the future – with the goal of attracting customers, prospects, and employees worldwide. In addition to trade and retail, industrial customers will also take center stage in the future. “GROW BIGGER” applies to all divisions of the company and means not hitting limits, but rather expanding them in a targeted manner.

“GROW BIGGER” through investments in future-oriented technologies in the construction industry

“GROW BIGGER” stands for scalable, sustainable growth. The goal is to achieve average annual revenue growth of 8 to 12 percent by 2030, with an EBIT margin of over 10 percent planned for 2030. In addition, the group aims for an employee referral rate of over 90 percent. A higher proportion of new products is intended to further strengthen the company’s innovative capacity. A central component of the strategy is also measurable sustainability, including the goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by a further 25 percent. Julian Utz, COO of Uzin Utz SE, explains: “Resource-efficient concepts as well as circular and low-emission solutions have always been part of our DNA. We act responsibly and combine our ambitious economic goals with innovative strength, employer attractiveness, and measurable sustainability – the foundation for profitable, sustainable growth.”

Philipp Utz, CSO of Uzin Utz SE, on the company’s goals: “In a time of rapid change in the industry, we don’t just want to keep pace with market shifts – we want to actively shape them. We aim to invest in dynamic, future-oriented markets within the construction industry and strategically expand into new areas within this evolving market. This applies to both the further development of existing solutions and the creation of new, sustainable business models. 

Promoting a leap in productivity in the construction industry: Uzin Utz invests in a growing future market 

Uzin Utz is taking its first strategic step toward innovative, industrial, and serial construction processes with an investment in Gropyus AG. Gropyus specializes in the serial production of building elements on highly automated robotic production lines. In one of Germany’s most modern residential construction factories, wall and ceiling elements are largely prefabricated, then delivered to the construction site and assembled there. This reduces construction time and costs.

“Modular construction methods can contribute to the transformation of the construction industry”, CSO Philipp Utz says with conviction. “Gaining insight into this promising technology provides us with insights into potential areas of integration that we can specifically incorporate into the further development of our product and solution portfolio,” Utz continues. This is because, when it comes to floor construction, there is currently a lack of market-ready, automated system solutions for use in modular and serial construction. This presents innovation potential that could lead to a leap in productivity in the construction industry.

“GROW BIGGER”: Additional areas of investment in the strategy 

In addition to modular construction, Uzin Utz plans to invest in the coming years. “GROW BIGGER” means tapping into new business areas and integrating them into the existing corporate structures. Julian Utz: “We are driving this transformation across all areas of the company with our motivated teams. Through new solutions, we aim to make construction more climate-friendly, accelerate residential construction, and make renovation more efficient.”
