Manufacturing Risk Changes With the Process

Insurance should reflect what you make, how you make it and what happens when production stops. We build strategies around the equipment, materials, people, products and contracts unique to each operation.

Operation-First Advice

Similar Policies Do Not Mean Similar Risks

A CNC shop, commercial bakery and injection molder may purchase many of the same core policies. Their loss drivers, equipment dependencies, contractual obligations and recovery timelines are entirely different.

Champion Risk begins with the operation, then connects coverage, safety, claims management and alternative-risk options to the exposures that matter most.

Featured Manufacturing Sectors

Specialized Strategies for Specialized Operations

01Precision manufacturing

Machining & CNC Shops

Precision machining depends on high-value equipment, exact tolerances and reliable production schedules. A single breakdown, rejected part or customer-property loss can affect far more than the immediate job.

Priority exposures

Machinery and equipment breakdown
Customer-owned materials and tooling
Products liability and manufacturers E&O
Metalworking fluids and environmental liability
Workers’ compensation and machine guarding
Business interruption and replacement lead times

Explore insurance for machining and CNC shops

02Fabricated metal

Metal Fabrication & Welding

Fabricators balance hot work, heavy materials, mobile equipment and completed-product responsibilities. Risk can follow the work from the shop floor to installation and final use.

Priority exposures

Hot work, fire and explosion
Welding fumes and occupational illness
Cranes, rigging and material handling
Products and completed operations
Commercial auto and off-site work
Contractual risk transfer

Explore insurance for metal fabricators

03Tooling and foundry operations

Tool, Die, Mold & Foundry Operations

Specialized tooling and heat-intensive processes create severe property, equipment and customer-dependency exposures. Replacement can take months when machinery or one-of-a-kind tooling is damaged.

Priority exposures

Customer-owned molds, dies and tooling
Furnaces, molten metal and fire protection
Equipment breakdown and utility interruption
Long machinery-replacement timelines
Industrial hygiene and employee injury
Product quality and specification errors

Explore insurance for tooling and foundry operations

04Plastics and rubber

Plastics & Injection Molding

Molders rely on expensive machinery, customer molds, resins and tightly controlled processes. Fire load, hydraulic systems and product-performance allegations require coordinated protection.

Priority exposures

Injection-molding equipment and molds
Combustible materials and fire protection
Hydraulic and electrical breakdown
Product liability and warning labels
Manufacturers E&O and recall
Pollution and chemical storage

Explore insurance for plastics manufacturers

05Food production

Food & Beverage Processing

Food manufacturers must protect product integrity while managing refrigeration, sanitation, delivery and continuous-production demands. A contamination or utility loss can quickly become a recall and business-income event.

Priority exposures

Contamination, spoilage and product recall
Refrigeration and equipment breakdown
Utility interruption and business income
Food safety and regulatory compliance
Delivery fleets and cargo
Slips, burns and repetitive-motion injuries

Explore insurance for food and beverage manufacturers

06Made-to-order production

Contract Manufacturers & Job Shops

Changing specifications, customer concentration and tight delivery commitments can turn a production error into a significant financial loss—even when no bodily injury or physical property damage occurs.

Priority exposures

Manufacturers E&O and specification errors
Products liability and completed operations
Customer property and tooling
Contractual indemnification
Supply-chain and customer concentration
Production delays and business interruption

Explore insurance for contract manufacturers

Beyond the Classification Code

The Details Behind the Operation Determine the Strategy

Two companies with the same industry classification can have very different equipment, contracts, customers, loss histories and financial priorities. We evaluate the details carriers—and generic online forms—often miss.

Additional Manufacturing Experience

Protection Across a Broader Industrial Market

Sheet Metal & Stamping

Presses, dies, coil stock, machine guarding and high-volume production dependencies.

Precision & Aerospace Components

Exact specifications, traceability, quality control and high-consequence product performance.

Composites & Advanced Materials

Specialized processes, chemicals, product applications and alternative-risk opportunities.

Electronics & Electrical Equipment

Component sourcing, sensitive inventory, testing, product failure and global supply chains.

Medical Device Manufacturing

Quality systems, regulatory requirements, recall, products liability and clinical consequences.

Wood Products & Furniture

Combustible dust, fire protection, finishing operations, machinery and wildfire exposure.

Garment, Textile & Geotextile

Machinery, combustible materials, imported inputs, product performance and cargo exposure.

One Connected Strategy

Coverage Is Only Part of the Work

Manufacturers also need active claims advocacy, practical loss-control support and a risk-financing structure that matches their performance and goals.

Risk SolutionsProtect property, people, products and income. Safety & ClaimsReduce losses and improve claim outcomes. Alternative RiskEvaluate captives and loss-sensitive options.
