LANGELSHEIM, Germany - Although its history dates back to the 14th century, Heubach entered the pigment business with the founding of the Goslarer Farbenwerke (Goslar Colorants Works) in 1806. Today, exactly 210 years later, Heubach is a leading producer of color and special pigments as well as pigment preparations for a wide variety of uses, from the ink, paint, plastics and building industries through to latex and seed production.
International expansion began under the direction of Rainer Heubach, who took over from his father Dr. Hans Heubach in 1973, with the founding of Heubach Inc. in the United States. The company took further steps towards internationalization with the founding of Heubach Colour Ltd. in India (1994) and the Hangzhou Heubach Pigment Co. Ltd. in China (2009).
