As the owner of a manufacturing business, you produce important products and make a difference in the national and local economy. 

Manufacturing businesses employ 17.4 million people or nine percent of the country’s population, and these businesses contributed $2 trillion or 12.5 percent of the gross domestic product to the U.S. economy in 2012 reports the National Association of Manufacturers.

  • Fires
  • Weather and other natural disasters
  • Lost income and business interruption

WHAT DOES MANUFACTURING INSURANCE COVER?

When choosing manufacturing insurance, first consider your risks. Then choose from several important coverage options that protect every aspect of your business.

Liability Insurance

When a client slips and falls while visiting your business or a product you design or produce causes an injury or illness, you could be liable for medical and other related costs. Liability insurance covers these risks and can extend to liability costs associated with libel, slander, and pollution.

Property Insurance

Cover damages to your rented or owned property, including fixtures, equipment, materials, and inventory.

Equipment Breakdown Coverage

Machinery or equipment breakdowns could potentially cost your manufacturing business thousands of dollars. Equipment breakdown coverage pays for repairs and maintenance as well as rental equipment and can prevent expensive downtime.

Business Interruption Insurance

Protect your business and income for up to 12 months as you perform necessary repairs after a temporary disruption caused by a covered event such as a fire or tornado.

Business Vehicle Insurance

Insure the vehicle you use primarily for business purposes.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Pay for injuries or illnesses sustained by your employees because of their job. Your Workers’ Compensation insurance requirements vary based on your state laws.

Commercial Umbrella Insurance
