The UFA production company had separate rights to the Tobis system, which it used under the trade name of Ufa-Klang.

From 1932, it also owned a majority share of one of the main Portuguese producers known as Tobis Portuguesa, a name which the company kept even after the German participation was terminated at the end of world War II.

Tobis established a Paris subsidiary and produced French-language film at the Epinay Studios during the 1930s.

Among the directors under contract to the company was René Clair who produced the films Under the Roofs of Paris and Le Million during the early sound era.
