hen Joseph Maria Huber stepped off the steamship in New York in 1883, he saw endless possibilities for a hard-working entrepreneur. As the American sales agent for his family's pigments manufacturing business in Bavaria, he quickly earned respect—and business—from New York's many large printing houses. By 1890, Joseph
Maria Huber was so successful that he bought out the American stake of the business from his German relatives—and launched J.M. Huber Corporation.Four generations later J.M. Huber Corporation is still guided by the practices and principles that helped develop its reputation. One of these practices is treating customers like partners in our business. Joseph Maria Huber himself ran to his customers' print shops whenever they encountered problems with their ink, day or night. Joseph Maria Huber knew his customers couldn't afford to miss a deadline. He always found a solution—even when a fire burned his Brooklyn plant to the ground in 1913. Within 48 hours, Joseph Maria Huber had production up and running again in rented space.
Our business has grown into areas our founder may never have envisioned, but the soul of J.M. Huber Corporation remains the same. Joseph Maria Huber's descendants—and their employees—still go the extra mile for customers.
