In pursuit of its Value Leader Strategy in various Printing Ink markets hubergroup is announcing an inflation correction in its overall pricing to safeguard long-term operational stability & service
hubergroup announces a necessary strategic price correction across its entire product portfolio in Europe.
Over the past years, hubergroup has consciously absorbed significant inflation-driven cost increases without passing them on to customers. To continue ensuring our renowned quality standards, expert technical service, and - most importantly - reliable supply security, this price adjustment is now essential.
Securing Supply for the Future
For several years, hubergroup has deliberately absorbed substantial and sustained cost increases for critical inputs such as specialized resins, solvents, logistics, labor, and energy. This approach ensured short-term stability for our partners. However, to safeguard long-term operational excellence and business viability, a financial adjustment has become essential.
This price correction directly reinforces the pillars of hubergroup’s value proposition for our customers:
- Investment in Production Quality and Supply Chain Resilience: The adjustment ensures the necessary capital deployment to invest in local manufacturing in Poland, Italy, Germany and Ireland and to maintain sufficient buffer stock in EU. This commitment shields our customers from supply chain disruptions and unexpected market volatility.
- Backward Integration Focus: We continue to strengthen investment in our highly effective Chemicals Division in India. This vertical integration ensures our inks maintain maximum quality, consistency and availability. hubergroup seeks to be a reliable, fully-integrated supplier regardless of global market turmoil.
- Enhanced Technical Service: The correction is necessary to maintain and enhance our specialized local technical support. Our goal is to ensure customers achieve optimal press performance and ink mileage, demonstrating that our cost-in-use proposition provides superior long-term value over initial headline price.
A Focus on Sustained Value for our Customers
At hubergroup, our commitment is to deliver stable and consistent value to all customers and stakeholders, even in an increasingly volatile market environment. We remain dedicated to fulfilling our promise of quality and reliability across every segment and product line.
Our priority is long-term sustainability and dependability. The recent price adjustment enables us to uphold the highest standards of quality and technical service that our customers rely on. We view this step as an investment in our shared future - ensuring hubergroup continues to be the trusted source of value our partners expect.
We are committed to working closely with all partners to implement these adjustments smoothly, while maintaining our focus on superior value through technical excellence, reliable supply, and outstanding service.
