hubergroup boosts French presence with new mixing station

-

hubergroup Print Solutions has strengthened its operational capabilities with the inauguration of a new mixing station on the Sainte-Sigolène plateau, signaling robust growth and enhanced customer service. Officially opened on 20 June 2025, the facility specializes in solvent-based Gecko inks, offering comprehensive services including on-site storage, mixing facilities, technical support, and a dedicated laboratory. This marks a significant milestone for the printing and packaging industry in France.

With the investment in this new mixing station, hubergroup emphasizes the importance of the French market for the company. “The new site is a real game-changer for us and our customers in the region,” says Adrien Pflieger, managing director of hubergroup France. “Geographical proximity, our technical expertise, and our quick response create a new level of efficiency for flexible packaging manufacturers.”

With a short-term capacity of around 100 tons per year – and potential for growth – hubergroup positions itself in the midst of one of France’s most important packaging clusters: Sainte-Sigolène represents almost 50% of national extrusion activity. The local packaging companies benefit from shorter delivery routes, faster availability, and on-site technical service – even for malfunctions or special colour requests.

The hubergroup team in Sainte-Sigolène consists of two sales engineers, a sales representative as well as a mixing station manager and is supported by a partner for logistics. In addition, it is supported by the European hubergroup network and the laboratory staff as well as product managers based at the headquarters in Germany.

Adrien Pflieger adds, “The responsiveness of our team in France, but also of the international hubergroup network, combined with a solid understanding of the specific challenges of the French market, will enable us to meet the needs of local customers and support the growth of the sustainable packaging market in France.”

Dedicated to hubergroup’s solvent-based Gecko products, the new mixing station is specifically targeted at flexible packaging manufacturers. The portfolio thus offers various options for designing smart, eco-friendly packaging products. This includes the NC-free, PU-based series Gecko Platinum and deinking solutions as well as support in complying with thresholds for printing with NC-based inks. In an effort to provide customers with everything they need to produce sustainable flexible packaging, hubergroup additionally offers a broad range of varnishes, barrier coatings, primers, whites, additives, and laminating adhesives.
