Warren Distribution announce a price increase of 4-8% on all lubricant products, depending on the product and package size. The new prices will go into effect with shipments on or after Monday, May 6, 2019. The company stated that with the price of crude continuing to rise, this pushed base oil suppliers to implement another round of posting increases. Additionally, acquiring timely and cost effective in-bound and out-bound transportation services has become more difficult, especially due to disruption of rail and barge service, which has driven up operational costs.
