hubergroup Enjoys a Busy IPEX

IPEX 2017 proved to be a significant success for hubergroup, strengthening the company’s position as a leading specialist in the development of sustainable inks and coatings for the print, packaging, commercial and newsprinting industries.
 
Over the four days of the show, the family-run business with more than 250 years’ experience in the research and development of printing inks enjoyed considerable attention from an international audience, with a high number of visitors to their stand shared with the British Coatings Federation.
 
“This show has given us a global platform,” Darren Jones, business manager UK, said. “We have been delighted with the response. On the first morning, we met visitors from Russia, Singapore, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Argentina, Nigeria and Lebanon. The variety of interest was incredible – some asking about our products and the technology, some asking about our sustainability goals and others asking about our outreach to their countries. There was interest also in our Delta E competition for visitors to pinpoint their corporate color. IPEX 2017 has proved to be a very worthwhile event for us and it was good to be alongside and support the British Coatings Federation.”
 
hubergroup attended IPEX 2017 to showcase the changes in its business strategy and reinforce their position in the printing inks and color control markets. The group has recently brought all of its local companies under one branding. The company now has a global infrastructure of logistics and customer care services worldwide.
 
A broad range of its inks and coatings for the offset segment are suitable for making print products that conform to the most popular eco-labels. For example, the goal of their ‘Cradle to Cradle’ concept announced earlier in the year is to achieve the ecologically perfect product that, once it is no longer in use, is broken down to its individual components or raw materials, which in turn can be put to use in new products – thereby eliminating all waste and conserving valuable raw materials. All of hubergroup’s sheetfed offset inks are cobalt-free as a future proof against upcoming legislation on potentially carcinogenic substances in inks.
