ATLANTA, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Huber Advanced Materials (HAM) business unit of Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), a business that is part of the J.M. Huber Corporation portfolio of businesses, announces a global price increase dependent on product or as contracts allow, effective January 1, 2026. 

These price increases are necessary to partially offset the impact of recently implemented US tariffs on imported aluminum hydroxide (ATH) feedstock and additional inflationary pressures from raw materials, regulatory compliance, labor and (ocean) freight cost.

In North America, these tariffs have not only raised the cost of imported feedstock and finished products but have also contributed to higher domestic costs across the supply chain. These factors make price adjustments necessary.

Huber Advanced Materials remains committed to actively managing these challenges and minimizing the impacts on our customers wherever possible.

As a leading supplier of halogen-free fire retardants, smoke suppressants, thermal management solutions, specialty aluminum oxides, and organic matting agents and carriers, we are committed to being a long-term sustainable partner and providing exceptional delivery and service levels to our customers.
