Manufacturing businesses face numerous risks, from machinery damage and product recalls to theft and employee hazards. Having the right insurance is crucial to minimize operational interruptions and provide peace of mind. Additionally, manufacturing business insurance is essential to protect the balance sheet and personal assets of the business.

Protecting every part of your manufacturing business

Manufacturers like you make the world go round. Whether national or international, your business is a unique part of an intricate supply chain – and it’s crucial that you protect it properly. We craft precision-made insurance to help safeguard your manufacturing business now and for the future.

We understand that, in this sector, risks come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s the materials you work with, the machinery you rely on, or the customers you ship to – if one cog in your operations stops turning, it can have serious repercussions for your whole business. That’s why we offer specialist business insurance to protect against common risks such as machinery and equipment damage, product recalls, theft, and hazards for employees. We can help you with a lot more too.

Our approach is holistic. We believe in managing your risks from day one so you can operate safely all year round – minimising the chances of a claim, while enabling you to weather any disruption that’s outside your control.
