Sun Chemical to Implement Tariff Surcharge on Color Materials Products

To address rising costs caused by recent global trade developments affecting raw material tariffs, Sun Chemical will implement a tariff surcharge on impacted color materials products, including pigments, both imported and produced in the United States.

Despite the high share of domestic production and sourcing, the recently installed tariffs significantly impact costs for base chemicals, raw materials, equipment parts and supply chain operations. With facilities across the Americas, Europe and Asia, Sun Chemical maintains the most balanced manufacturing footprint in the pigments industry and is committed to leveraging its global presence and supply chain network to mitigate cost impacts.

“We acknowledge that this surcharge represents a significant cost increase,” said Brian Panczyk, President of the Color Materials Division, Sun Chemical. “As the tariff situation continues to evolve, we are committed to adjusting our approach fairly while pursuing supply chain options to mitigate the tariff impact. We value the business of our customers and appreciate their understanding during these challenging times.”

The effective date and amount of the surcharge will vary by country and will be communicated directly to affected customers.
