Chubb now is offering small commercial insurance (“SCI”) products to cover the risks faced by small manufacturers. This coverage is available through Chubb's digital platform, the Chubb Marketplace.

“Manufacturing is an industry with diverse risks that are constantly evolving, and manufacturers must navigate a challenging array of exposures, from equipment breakdowns to supplier or distributor disruptions to employee safety,” said Jim Williamson, division president of small commercial insurance for Chubb North America. “Chubb has been a leading provider of insurance solutions for mid- and larger-sized manufacturers for more than 50 years. Now, and through the technological advancements of our online marketplace platform, we are pleased to be able to offer the same insurance solutions to small manufacturing businesses, supported by our industry-leading capabilities in underwriting, claims, and risk engineering.”

With this launch, Chubb SCI now offers coverage for more than 160 manufacturing class codes, including food; machinery and equipment; metal, plastic, and wood; textiles and clothing; advanced technology; and clean technology.
