Effective 29 May 2015, Micro Inks’ name has been changed to Hubergroup India. The journey of Micro Inks began with Hindustan Inks and Resins in the 1980, in a small plant in Vapi. Since its inception, this plant has gone through many transformations. In its current form it is the manufacturing hub for spot color pigments and I-bases, UV flushes, ketone and MF resins, and metal driers.
In 2005, Micro Inks was acquired by Germany-based Hubergroup, one of the oldest and leading global players in the industry, but continued to be known by its old name. “Over the last ten years, we have aligned our products, brands, technologies, geographical positions and the management structures to create a unified and well integrated global group,” said Ashwani Bhardwaj, managing director of Hubergroup. “It is only natural that we also create a common identity in terms of our name and corporate logos and with this objective, the name of the company has been changed.”
Bhardwaj said, “While the name has changed, our commitment to all our employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders will stay as high as it always has been. It will be our endeavour to deliver better solutions for our customers and work in a direction for making a difference to the society.”
