A guide to specialist manufacturing insurance

We understand that a no-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work with manufacturing insurance, which is why our experienced brokers will help your business find a policy that suits its unique requirements.  

Manufacturing facilities face significant everyday risk. This includes, but is not limited to, business interruption, goods in transit, and loss of licence.

We also recognise that manufacturers have vast capital tied up in resources, from physical infrastructure, machinery and tools, to personnel and products.

Any disruption – for example, theft, property damage, or a natural disaster – can impact heavily on the bottom line and the firm’s ability to deliver goods and services in time. 

Additionally, third party injuries such as falls or contact with moving equipment, can lead to costly claims. Specialist insurance that is designed for manufacturers can provide a safeguard in the event of a critical incident.

What is covered by manufacturing insurance?

Manufacturing insurance can offer a wide range of cover, from production insurance and goods in transit, to cyber threats, employers’ liability, and equipment breakdown. 

Property damage is a key element of cover for manufacturing businesses, and is designed to provide cover against incidents that cause damage to either the building, content, fixtures, or fittings.

Public liability insurance covers your business in the event of any third party injuries or property damage, while personal accident insurance covers anyone named included in your policy if they have an accident at work or off-duty. 

Additionally, commercial legal expenses insurance covers you if you ever face legal costs in connection with your manufacturing. We can also assist with insurance for food manufacturing facilities, which covers product liability and stock loss in the even of a fridge/freezer malfunction.
