Insurance for machine-building companies

Separate production equipment, liability for delivered machines and business interruption.

Three separate risk areas

Damage to your equipment concerns technical insurance. Damage caused by delivered products concerns liability. Lost earnings after insured physical damage concern business interruption.

Assembly, commissioning and exports

Clarify who bears the risk until handover, assembly locations and export markets. Assembly and transport insurance may also be needed.

Production dependencies

A bottleneck at a key machine can stop later processes. Document backup capacity, critical suppliers and realistic recovery times.

Documents for the review

Activities, equipment values, product groups, turnover by country, contract requirements and existing cover support the assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Does machinery insurance cover product liability?
