Mavco Investments acquires hubergroup

Mavco Investments, a private investment firm, has acquired all shares in hubergroup from the current owner, Cornelius Treuhand Holding. This transaction gives Hubergroup a unique platform to enhance its market position, strengthen its financial base, and increase investments in high-impact areas.

The consortium's planned investment in Hubergroup signifies a commitment to long-term, sustainable growth. The combination of the operational track record and strategic industrial expertise of the partnering Murugappa family members, along with the investment expertise of Avenue Capital Group, provides hubergroup with a unique platform to enhance its market position, strengthen its financial base, and increase investments in high-impact areas.

M.A.M. Arunachalam (also known as Arun Murugappan), director of Mavco Investments, said: ‘We are excited to announce our partnership with hubergroup, an organization with a rich heritage spanning multiple centuries. This collaboration marks our strategic entry into the global print/packaging solutions and allied products. Together with Avenue Capital Group, we are committed to accelerating hubergroup’s growth in key international markets and enhancing its ability to deliver exceptional value to all its business partners worldwide.’

Mavco’s strategic vision and operational expertise combined with hubergroup’s drive for innovation and growth potential fits perfectly with our approach to back transformative businesses.’

This investment also allows hubergroup to capitalize on high-growth opportunities across geographies. The regions where demand for high-quality chemicals and print/packing solutions is growing, represent significant areas for expansion. The backing from the consortium will allow hubergroup to meet this demand and unlock new market potential.
