Manufacturing & Industrial Insurance

The global manufacturing and industrial sector is under pressure to operate leaner, safer and smarter. As supply chains stretch, regulations tighten, and climate risk intensifies, businesses are investing in automation, data integration and resilience, but with that comes increased complexity and evolving risk.

From high-value production facilities and specialist equipment to workforce safety, product liability and cross-border logistics, the exposures faced by large-scale manufacturers require robust, flexible insurance programmes.
