What is...
manufacturing insurance?
Whether you produce retail stock, building materials or wholesale goods; if you run a warehouse or factory, you should consider business insurance. Lifting heavy goods, running machinery and handling expensive goods all come with risks, and without insurance protection, you could end up paying out in the event something happens.
Manufacturing insurance could help provide a financial safety net and protect against potential unforeseen events. It also gives peace of mind so you can focus on what’s important – getting the goods to your customers.
Why is manufacturing insurance important?
Due to the nature of the manufacturing industry, there are a lot of risks to consider like accidents from heavy machinery or goods falling. That’s why it’s best to consider the best insurance protection for your business.
Without sufficient cover, you could end up paying out of your own pocket if someone makes a claim against your business or you don’t have a policy to claim on if you run into an issue.
Why do manufacturing businesses need insurance?
There are many reasons why factories or warehouses should consider insurance. For example:
- You suffer a break-in, and expensive stock is stolen, so you can’t fulfil orders
- Your building or equipment gets vandalised, and you’re unable to operate
- A machine fault causes bodily harm to an employee, and they make a claim against you
- A fire breaks out and disrupts your production line, and you have to close
What manufacturing sectors need insurance?

- Warehouses
- Factories
- Fulfilment centres
- Transit warehouses
- Order picking warehouses
- Private warehouses
