Insuring Manufacturing Processes
Many risks in manufacturing obviously come from the process of making products. Your equipment, material, and stock are probably all insured. However, you may also want consequential loss policies in place. More than a typical business continuation policy, consequential loss for manufacturing might cover secondary, financial losses for equipment breakdowns, bad material lots, and so on.
In some cases, production could come through good enough to sell just not with your name on it. MIG offers brands and labels coverage to protect your reputation while still recovering as much from your losses as possible.
