Trecora, a leading chemical manufacturer based in The Woodlands, Texas, has announced it will be implementing a surcharge on its TRECOR™ product line due to elevated costs in its supply chain. The surcharge will go into effect immediately and impact both wholesale and retail customers.

Why it matters

The move by Trecora reflects broader inflationary pressures impacting the chemical industry, as manufacturers grapple with rising raw material, energy, and transportation expenses. Passing along these costs to customers is a common strategy, though it can strain relationships and lead to reduced demand.

The details

In a statement, Trecora cited 'significant increases in the costs of key feedstocks, energy, and logistics' as the primary drivers behind the new surcharge. The company did not provide specifics on the amount of the surcharge or how long it expects the elevated costs to persist.

  • The surcharge will go into effect immediately on April 6, 2026.
