Manufacturing Insurance

Manufacturing Insurance

Manufacturing is not a one-size-fits-all risk. Your insurance should reflect what you make, how you make it, where you ship it, and what happens if the line goes down.

Common Manufacturing Programs We Place

Metal and fabricated products

Metal and fabricated products

Cutting, welding, machining, stamping, and fabrication come with higher property and liability severity. We focus on fire controls, equipment breakdown, and clean product/completed operations.

Food and beverage producers

Food and beverage producers

Contamination and recall exposures, refrigeration reliance, and supply chain sensitivity make the program structure matter more than price.

Machinery and equipment manufacturers

Machinery and equipment manufacturers

Higher-value production equipment, prototype risk, and contract-driven delivery requirements make downtime and E&O considerations important.

What Drives Manufacturing Insurance Pricing

01
Your process and ignition sources

Your process and ignition sources

Hot work, welding, ovens, kilns, curing, spray, dust, and chemicals change the risk profile fast.

02
Your building and fire protection

Your building and fire protection

Construction type, sprinklers, fire alarms, hydrants, separation of hazards, housekeeping, and maintenance practices.

03
Your equipment and downtime exposure

Your equipment and downtime exposure

The more you rely on specialized machinery, the more business interruption and equipment breakdown matters.

04
What you sell and where it goes

What you sell and where it goes

Product type, use case, contractual requirements, export, and whether a failure could cause bodily injury or property damage.

Key Things to Know

01
Not every coverage applies to every manufacturer

Not every coverage applies to every manufacturer

Some manufacturers need product recall and contamination coverage. Others need E&O tied to specifications, or premises pollution, or higher transit limits. We focus on what is relevant to your operation.

02
Your machinery is often your biggest asset

Your machinery is often your biggest asset

Expensive production machinery is only valuable if it is producing. We structure property, equipment breakdown, and business interruption together so the program responds to real-world downtime scenarios.

03
Contracts and relationships matter in manufacturing

Contracts and relationships matter in manufacturing

Manufacturers rely on customers, suppliers, and long-term relationships. As you add new products, new customers, or new contracts, coverage needs to evolve with you.

Common Manufacturing Add-Ons That Matter

These are the coverages manufacturers often add once they start scaling.

Product recall and contamination

Product recall and contamination

If a defect or contamination forces a recall, the cost is rarely just replacing product. It is freight, disposal, communication, and business interruption pressure. Critical for food, auto parts, and consumer goods.
