Manufacturing insurancebuilt around the line.

Property, products liability, recall, equipment breakdown, and business interruption — scoped to what actually stops your line, with workers' comp and cyber that match a modern plant.

Who we insure

From job shop to plant.

Metal fabrication, food and beverage, plastics, electronics assembly, furniture, printing, packaging — the exposures rhyme: a building full of equipment, a product that leaves it, and people on the floor.

i.

Job shops & fabricators

  • Equipment values that outgrow the property limit

Coverage

What a manufacturer carries.

Plain-English summaries. Your policy documents always control.

01

Commercial property

Building, machinery and equipment, raw materials, work in process, and finished stock. Replacement cost, agreed values, and co-insurance are where manufacturers get hurt at claim time.

Core
02

Business interruption

Lost income and continuing expenses while you rebuild — including the months it takes to replace long-lead equipment. The period of restoration is the decision.

Core
03

Equipment breakdown

Mechanical and electrical failure of production equipment, boilers, and electrical systems — excluded by standard property forms.

Machinery
04

General & products liability

Injury or damage your product causes after it leaves your hands, plus premises exposure. Vendor and distributor requirements usually drive the limits.

Contract-required
05

Product recall

Your own costs to pull a defective product — notification, shipping, disposal, and often lost profit. GL covers the injury, not the recall.

Specialty
06

Workers' compensation

Required with employees. Class codes, safety programs, and experience modification are the levers; a captive is the next step when premium is large.

Required
07

Cyber

Ransomware that stops a line is a business interruption most property policies don't cover. Add funds-transfer fraud and customer data.

Operations
08

Auto, inland marine & umbrella

Delivery vehicles, goods in transit, and excess limits above everything else.

Program

Simplified summaries for general information. Coverage, limits, and exclusions vary by carrier and policy.

FAQ

Manufacturing questions.

Products liability vs. product recall — what's the difference?

Products liability pays for injury or damage your product causes to others. Recall pays your own costs to pull a defective product from the market. Most GL policies include the first and exclude the second.

How do you size business interruption?

With a business income worksheet: revenue, continuing expenses, and payroll over the time it would really take to restore operations — including replacing long-lead equipment. Choosing the period of restoration and the extended period is the main decision, and we'll work it with you.

Do we really need cyber?

If a ransomware event would stop your line, yes — property policies generally won't respond. Any business with email and invoices also has funds-transfer fraud exposure.

What do you need for a quote?

Products and processes, revenue by product line, payroll by class, a statement of values for buildings and equipment, current policies, and 3–5 years of loss runs. Send what you have — our intake reads it.
