Nick’s Notes: April 2025

We are already in Q2 of 2025 and the year is shaping up to an excellent one for H&B. We’re proud to share that the launch of our first ZRX has been a resounding success. Performance metrics are exceeding expectations, and customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. In parallel, demand for our ZRW web coaters remains exceptionally strong. Our sheet fed offset OEM partners are also seeing strong business, and we anticipate continued orders from them through year-end. These achievements reflect the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the energy and expertise everyone brings to the table.

Operationally, our manufacturing facilities in both Idaho and California are running at full capacity, consistently delivering high-quality product to meet growing demand. The business is on solid ground, and momentum is clearly on our side. Of course, we’re keeping a close eye on the evolving tariff situation, and while we hope any impact remains minimal, we’re preparing to respond swiftly if necessary. Thank you to our employees and customers for your continued commitment and partnership—it’s your support that keeps us moving forward.
