history
The company was in 1871 by the plumbers Karl Huber founded (1845-1920) as Flaschner- and installation operation. In addition to handicrafts and the shop, the production of metal buckets for lubricating grease was started. When Huber's son-in-law Karl Meister (1875–1935) joined the company, the industrial production of sheet metal packaging began. In 1919 the company employed around 30 people. At this point in time, Karl Meister had largely taken over the management. After the death of the founder, Meister redesigned the business into a purely industrial company. In 1929 around 70 people were employed. With the takeover of the sheet metal packaging factory Franz Schütt with around 50 employees in 1930, the company was greatly expanded; in 1935 the company had 160 employees. After Karl Meister's death in 1935, his sons Otto and Paul Meister took over management. The company was transformed into a general partnership.

Products
In the Industrial product area , the Huber Packaging Group produces tinplate packaging for industry, from the smallest container with 50 ml content to large container with 33 l content. One of the company's best-known products in the beverage product area is a five-liter beer keg with a built-in tap ( party keg ). For the production of this barrel, another plant was built in Öhringen in 1999 on the outskirts, which was expanded in 2006. Huber produces several versions of the party kegs, which are accepted by numerous national and international breweries.
