Hubergroup: Price increase due to rise in raw material and transport costs

For some time now, the rise in raw material costs and the shortage of freight capacities have been putting companies under pressure worldwide. The printing ink industry has also been severely affected, as transport costs and the cost of pigments (including titanium dioxide) and petrochemical raw materials such as resins and solvents have continued to rise massively during the year. Hubergroup is therefore now responding with global price increases.
Price increase unavoidable
The company stresses that it is working intensively to minimise price increases for customers by using its global supply network, examining other procurement methods and using alternative raw materials. Nevertheless, according to the company, a price increase is unavoidable.

The second edition of the handbook covers the entire spectrum of coatings formulation in a single volume and acts as a vehicle for acquiring and deepening a sound knowledge of all the important principles of coatings production. The handbook's topicality in all aspects of coatings composition, application methodology, quality assurance, environment and industrial health and safety is highly useful -not only to those in training but also to established professionals who wish to update their knowledge thoroughly.
