As with most technical industries, the days of being a "generalist" are over! That’s why we developed a “Precision Manufacturing Practice” (“PMP”); a dedicated group of professionals that exclusively service specialized manufacturers like Precision Manufacturing Insurance Service.

Unfortunately, about 85% of the 100+ manufacturers we work with were either paying for coverages they didn’t need, or had significant coverage gaps because notwithstanding limits, their policy would not pay certain claims the way they needed them to be paid. Consider that all insurance companies use much of the same boilerplate language and policy forms for all their clients including theaters, liquor stores, hotels and manufacturing plants – large and small. One size cannot fit all!

The PMP helps manufacturers reduce risk exposures, realign insurance costs, eliminate coverage gaps and make strategic choices about self insuring certain risk factors. As manufacturing insurance specialists, we analyze your risk profile, identify loss scenarios that are specifically relevant to you, help you develop a risk mitigation strategy (self insure vs. risk financing) and deliver an actionable plan to protect your future.
