Recognition places Formerra among several dozen honorees from a supplier network of more than 30,000.
ROMEOVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2026 / Formerra, a leader in performance materials distribution, was recognized for its partnership at Eaton’s 2026 Global Supplier Conference & Excellence Awards, held Thursday, August 27 in Beachwood, Ohio. Formerra was one of only 30 suppliers recognized with Eaton’s Supplier Excellence Award from among the company’s global network of more than 30,000 supplier partners.
Eaton grants the Supplier Excellence Award to suppliers that exceed expectations through exceptional performance, innovation, and contributions to growth. Formerra serves as Eaton’s preferred plastics distribution partner, a role built through disciplined execution and engagement across Eaton’s corporate organization and manufacturing sites.
While the partnership began over 15 years ago in North America, it now extends into Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, where Formerra recently established dedicated logistics and warehousing capabilities in Dubai to support Eaton’s expansion in the region.
Formerra has broadened its support, extending beyond polymer distribution in response to Eaton’s dynamic requirements. The scope now covers thermoset materials, finished goods distribution, supply chain optimization, global logistics, and technical application support.
“Eaton holds its supply base to a high standard, and this recognition reflects work our teams do every day across three continents,” said Tom Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, Formerra. “Our people earned it by understanding how Eaton operates, anticipating needs, and solving problems before they reach a production line.
The relationship between Formerra and Eaton offers strengthened supply resiliency, reduced supply chain risk, vendor consolidation, and improved operational efficiency as Eaton continues to pursue global growth.
