Insurance for Manufacturers
Your manufacturing business is more than a building and some equipment. It’s machinery, stock, raw materials, employees, suppliers, customers, contracts, vehicles, technology and years of investment working together to keep production moving.
When one part stops, the financial impact can quickly spread through the entire business. That’s why manufacturing insurance shouldn’t be treated as a generic business insurance policy.
Stellar works with manufacturers to identify the exposures that could have the biggest impact on their operations and arrange insurance designed around the way their business actually operates. From protecting expensive machinery and stock to managing product liability and business interruption risks, we help make complex insurance easier to understand.

Your machinery isn't the only thing worth protecting
One of the biggest mistakes a manufacturing business can make is focusing solely on the replacement value of its physical assets. We can help you:
- identify important risks across your manufacturing operation
- review your existing policies and identify potential gaps or overlaps;
- determine appropriate insurance options for your business;
- approach suitable insurers and negotiate cover;
- manage policy changes as your business evolves;
- provide certificates of currency when required;
- review your insurance program each year; and
- help manage claims from notification through to resolution.
