CLEVELAND, OH / ACCESS Newswire / March 25, 2026 / Formerra, a leader in performance materials distribution, announced the implementation of a transportation surcharge to address continued cost escalation across the Americas freight and logistics market. Beginning April 1, 2026, a $350 per delivery surcharge will apply to all shipments.
The freight and logistics market continues to experience elevated costs driven by rising diesel prices, evolving regulatory requirements affecting driver availability, tighter trucking capacity, and increasing operating expenses across the logistics sector. Industry forecasts indicate these pressures will persist for the foreseeable future.
"Maintaining reliable service for our customers requires us to adapt to sustained shifts in the transportation landscape," said Tom Kelly, Formerra CEO. "This surcharge is necessary to address these industrywide cost pressures that are outside of our control while continuing to provide the high service levels customers expect from Formerra."
