J.M. Huber Corporation Provides Full House Sponsorship

The J.M. Huber Corporation’s new global partnership with Habitat for Humanity brings terrific news: our build at 24 Burnet Street in Livingston was the recipient of a full-house sponsorship in 2020.

Over 135 years after its founder, Joseph Maria Huber, first fell in love with the United States, J.M. Huber Corporation (Huber) companies continue to play a leading role in the industries they serve. The Huber Principles: Environmental, Health & Safety Sustainability, Ethical Behavior, Respect for People and Excellence make the company a natural partner for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark. Headquartered in Edison, NJ, Huber supports Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark’s mission through financial contributions and in-kind donations of Huber Engineered Woods, one of Huber’s portfolio businesses, building products.

Huber has been a sponsor of the Home Builder’s Blitz program since 2017 and the Company’s employees have volunteered at local Habitat builds for several years at various locations. However, in 2018, Huber announced a global partnership and multi-year annual donation commitment to Habitat for Humanity International as part of its expanded approach to community engagement, called Huber Helps. The expanded partnership includes two fully sponsored house builds in the US per year, involvement in the Carter Work Project, and in-kind product donations to Habitat’s Disaster Relief and other programs. Huber’s most recent fully sponsored home build was Habitat of Greater Newark’s 2020 build in Livingston.

“Our employees are honored to work alongside a family to help them build their first home and put the Huber Principles into action to do good in the world, says Don Young, EVP of Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability for Huber.

Jeffrey Farrell, CEO of Habitat of Greater Newark, comments, “Huber is a company that truly commits to a build. 24 Burnet Street welcomed not only volunteers from the company bringing expertise with Huber products, but also family members of the company’s founder, Joseph Maria Huber.” He continued, “We hope to work with Huber for years to come.”
