hubergroup increases ink prices

Germany-based ink manufacturer hubergroup will increase the price of its printing inks in Europe with effect from 1 January 2013, citing rising costs in raw materials, energy, transport and logistics.

‘We are no longer in a position to offset this enormous increase in costs in almost all areas and still meet the high demands with respect to quality and service,’ said Heiner Klokkers, group managing director Europe at hubergroup, based in Munich.

‘We have already been working intensively on increasing our productivity and optimizing our internal processes. However, since there appears to be no end in sight to high costs and we want to continue providing the level of quality and service our customers are accustomed to and expect of us, we find ourselves compelled to pass on a portion of these costs to our clients.’
