Uzin Utz North America (UUNA) has announced two strategic leadership appointments: Jarrod Persun as vice president of product management and technical services, and Jim Muggleton as director of marketing.
Persun brings more than a decade of experience in product management, R&D and technical services. Previously he held a leadership role at Schluter Systems, where he managed a portfolio of more than 7,000 products, led cross-functional teams and implemented strategies to drive business growth. With deep expertise in construction materials and civil engineering, paired with a Master of Science degree from Clarkson University, Persun offers exceptional insight into product performance and development.
Muggleton will oversee UUNA’s branding strategy, providing strategic guidance for both the Uzin and Wolff brands. His focus will be on strengthening brand equity, driving demand and positioning the brands as leaders in the North American flooring industry.
His career in the flooring industry began in 1998 when he joined his family’s commercial flooring business. He later successfully managed his own flooring distribution company. In 2013, Muggleton relocated from the UK to the U.S. and joined UUNA. In 2019, he became a dual citizen.
“We are thrilled to have two experts dedicated to driving their areas of responsibility forward,” said Marco Ludwig, UUNA president. “Their extensive experience will undoubtedly enhance our product portfolio and elevate the solutions we provide to our customers.”
