Coverage Options for Manufacturers
A comprehensive manufacturing insurance program may include several types of coverage depending on your operations, products, property, and contractual requirements.
Commercial Property Insurance
Can help protect buildings, business personal property, inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and tenant improvements from certain covered losses.
Commercial General Liability
Can help protect manufacturers from certain claims involving bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and premises-related liability.
Product Liability Insurance
Can help businesses address claims involving products they manufacture, distribute, sell, label, import, or supply. Especially important for private label brands, wholesalers, and ecommerce companies.
Business Income Insurance
May help replace lost income after a covered property loss disrupts normal operations. Manufacturers should review whether coverage reflects production downtime and supply chain interruptions.
Equipment Breakdown Coverage
May help address certain losses involving mechanical, electrical, pressure system, or production equipment breakdowns depending on the policy terms.
Workers Compensation Insurance
Can help provide benefits for employees who are injured or become ill due to work-related causes. Manufacturing operations should review payroll, employee duties, and state requirements carefully.
Commercial Auto Insurance
May be needed if the business owns vehicles or uses vehicles for deliveries, pickups, sales, service calls, or other business purposes.
Inland Marine Insurance
Can help protect equipment, tools, materials, samples, or property that moves between locations or is temporarily away from the main premises.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Manufacturers may rely on ecommerce platforms, payment systems, customer databases, and connected systems. Cyber liability coverage can help address certain cyber and privacy-related losses.
Umbrella or Excess Liability
Can provide additional liability limits above certain underlying policies. Manufacturers with product exposure, large customers, contracts, or significant assets may want to evaluate higher limits.
Product Recall Coverage
May help address certain expenses related to withdrawing a product from the market, depending on the policy terms and product type.
Cargo and Transit Coverage
May help protect goods while they are being shipped, transported, or moved between locations.
Common Manufacturing Insurance Challenges
Manufacturers face a range of unique insurance challenges that require careful review and planning.
Product Exposure
The type of product manufactured or sold can affect underwriting, pricing, eligibility, exclusions, and coverage requirements.
Inventory Values
Inventory values may fluctuate throughout the year. Manufacturers should review raw materials, work in process, finished goods, seasonal inventory, and property at third-party warehouses.
Equipment and Machinery
Production equipment can be expensive to replace and may be essential to business operations. Equipment values and breakdown exposure should be reviewed carefully.
Contract Requirements
Retailers, distributors, vendors, landlords, customers, and fulfillment partners may require specific insurance limits, additional insured status, certificates of insurance, or waiver of subrogation.
