Hubergroup has regained its path to success through an efficient realignment. “Thanks to the initiatives implemented, hubergroup is now achieving improved positive margins and gaining further market share,” says Britta Hübner, hubergroup Chief Transformation Officer. hubergroup is a chemicals and print solutions specialist with a rich, 259-year heritage, and leads, especially, in printing inks and coatings.
“In recent years, hubergroup has consolidated its capacities, refined its portfolio, and enhanced cash flows and profitability,” Hübner says. “These efforts have significantly strengthened our market position and our scope for action.” The company recognizes the business potential in packaging inks and chemicals as key drivers of future profitability.
Building upon these recent achievements, hubergroup has initiated a structured process to strengthen the capital base, enlisting the expertise of management consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to support this re-financing. This includes a search for new investors. Hübner affirms, “Having strengthened our position across market access and finance, hubergroup is now taking the next step to secure funding for our promising growth prospects.”
Experts project an annual 5.2% growth rate in Asia’s printing ink market up to 2031, for instance. “Through the recent reorganization and relocation of capacities to Poland and India, we are ideally positioned to operate in close proximity to our customers and suppliers,” says Timo Klees, Partner at PwC. “This puts hubergroup in a position to further expand its already robust market presence in all growth regions and markets.” hubergroup anticipates surpassing important market dynamics in the coming years.
Notably, hubergroup stands as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of printing inks, holding a significant share in all its business segments.
