This week, we are in Providence, Rhode Island, exhibiting at the International Wire & Cable Symposium (IWCS).  We enjoyed yesterday visiting with current and prospective customers discussing our various fire retardant additives for wire & cable applications.  The event concludes today and we are looking forward to continuing our discussions with attendees about our Kemgard® molybdate compounds, Hydral® precipitated alumina trihydrate (ATH), Hymod® ATH and our Vertex® and Zerogen® magnesium hydroxide (MDH) products.  It’s always a pleasure to meet new and visit with old customers and friends at events like these.

Huber Announces Price Increase for Industrial Calcium Carbonate

Posted on by

Today we are announcing a price increase for our high-performing industrial calcium carbonate products.  The price increase does not apply to Huber’s food and USP calcium carbonate grades. 

The increase is effective Dec. 1, 2014, or as current contracts allow.  Prices will increase an average of five to 10 percent depending on product grade and packaging.

While we continue to focus on minimizing the inflationary impact on our ground calcium carbonate business, cost increases in materials, packaging, freight, regulatory compliance, labor and capital investments necessitate the pricing adjustment.
