ATLANTA, Oct. 21, 2024 (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 of 5% up to 15% dependent on product or as contracts allow, effective January 1, 2025.
