Temporary Surcharge update
July and August deliveries
Dear Customers,
We would like to provide you with an update regarding the temporary surcharges applicable to our deliveries during the coming months.
Despite the recent decline in crude oil prices, polypropylene (PP) prices reported by ICIS remain at historically high levels. In addition, polyethylene (PE) prices continue to be under significant pressure, directly impacting products containing film.
After reviewing the current market situation, we have decided to maintain the existing surcharge levels for all deliveries from 1 July 2026.
For deliveries from 1 August 2026, the surcharges will also remain unchanged, with two exceptions due to higher polyethylene prices:
✅ Products containing film
✅ Tiles
These adjustments reflect the fact that our August production will still use raw materials purchased at the current elevated market prices.
At the same time, we are seeing the first encouraging signs of meaningful raw material price reductions. If this trend continues, we expect to implement the first significant surcharge reductions from September onwards.
We will closely monitor market developments and inform you of any adjustments no later than 17 August.
Thank you for your continued trust and understanding during this exceptional market situation.
We wish you and your team a wonderful, sunny summer holiday.
Kind regards,
The Sommer Flooring team.
