hubergroup focuses on safe, circular food packaging and value chain collaboration at Elite Plus 2026

Hubergroup, a quality leader in speciality chemicals, will return to the ElitePlus Speciality Films & Flexible Packaging Global Summit as a prestigious partner for the fourth consecutive year in Mumbai on 26 and 27 August.

On 26 August, Vellayan Subbiah, chairman of Hubergroup, will deliver his keynote ‘Driving Sustainable Growth in an Uncertain World.’ The company says his participation underscores Hubergroup’s commitment to fostering industry dialogue and advancing sustainable innovation in the packaging sector.

Premal Desai, CEO of Hubergroup, says, “As a long-standing Platinum Partner of ElitePlus, we value this summit as a leading forum that brings together the entire value chain to accelerate safe, circular packaging. At Hubergroup, we are deeply committed to understanding our customers’ evolving needs and collaborating closely with them to deliver innovative solutions. Events like ElitePlus provide a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, foster partnerships, and work collectively to create lasting value for our customers and the industry as a whole.”

At its booth, Hubergroup will showcase its solvent-based Gecko portfolio and its lamination adhesives. Amit Dammani, business head packaging solutions at Hubergroup India, says, “Our Gecko inks and varnishes as well as our lamination adhesives are built as an integrated system to deliver uptime, quality, and recyclability – practical tools for converters navigating today’s uncertainty while pursuing sustainable growth.“

Safe food packaging 

Engineered for operational efficiency and consistent quality, the Gecko ink series is toluene-free and widely used in snack packaging, confectionery laminates, dairy pouches, and pharmaceutical overwraps. It delivers high colour yield, excellent lamination bond strength, and stable rheology at elevated press speeds. Hubergroup will also present its expanded NC-free portfolio as part of its commitment to circular packaging solutions.

Adhesives that make structures work as one

Adhesives are central to making multiple substrates perform as a single reliable structure. With its lamination adhesives, Hubergroup offers an integrated portfolio – solvent-based and solvent-free – that extends naturally from its Gecko inks to ensure consistent results across the converting process.

Converters benefit from high bond strength across diverse film structures, fast curing for increased efficiency, excellent thermal and chemical resistance, seamless performance in flexographic, rotogravure, and other printing processes, and low-migration solutions for sensitive applications. The range delivers robust, reliable output in demanding production environments, combining efficiency with process stability.
