Daramic Evaluating Potential Surcharge Measures Amid Rising Input Costs

Charlotte, NC —April 1, 2026 — Daramic announced today that it is actively evaluating the potential implementation of temporary surcharges in response to recent increases in raw material, energy, and transportation costs. These cost pressures have been significantly influenced by the recent escalation in global oil prices, driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The resulting volatility in fuel and logistics expenses, combined with higher input costs across key materials, is creating an environment where adjustments may become necessary to ensure continued operational stability and service reliability.

The company emphasized that this surcharge would be evaluated periodically in light of evolving market conditions. Daramic is closely monitoring market conditions and remains committed to transparency throughout this process.

Daramic will keep its customers informed as the situation evolves and will provide notice should any changes be made. Daramic values your partnership and appreciate your understanding during this dynamic period.
