Controller

Say Hello to Hubert!

We call Harrison, Ohio home. Our German roots run deep. We're owned by TAKKT AG based in Stuttgart, Germany. We specialize in consulting with customers in the foodservice and food retail industries on issues and challenges they face and work hard to create fully vetted product solutions to address those needs.

Here's what we do at a very basic level:

Walk into a grocery store. Take away all the products that you can actually buy. What's left? The signage, the shelving, the display vessels, the items used to prepare the food at the deli, right? That's what we sell! We're basically the behind-the-scenes product people for supermarkets, hotels, universities, and restaurants.

We pride ourselves on the rapidly changing culture at Hubert. From agile environments to individual empowerment and the ability to work partially from home, we continue to provide a place that is engaging and fun.
