The war in the Middle East is having far-reaching effects on global energy and transportation markets. While disruptions in air and maritime traffic are currently concentrated primarily in the region itself, sharply rising oil and gas prices are driving up costs for energy, freight and raw materials worldwide. The speed and scale of these cost increases are now beginning to affect even long-term sourcing and energy procurement structures.
Despite these challenges, customer supply remains secure. At present, Felix Schoeller sees no constraints in raw material availability across its segments. The company remains in close contact with both customers and suppliers.
In light of the current extraordinary market volatility, Felix Schoeller will introduce a temporary cost surcharge across all segments, beginning April 1, 2026. It will remain in effect until further notice.
Felix Schoeller will continue to closely monitor developments in the energy and logistics markets and adjust its measures in line with the evolving market situation.
