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.
