Industrial Manufacturing

Strathearn provides a wide range of manufacturing industries with risk advice including manufacturers of automotives, heavy plant and machinery, robotics, steel, fertilisers and numerous others.

One of the common issues manufacturers face is lost production time be it from a fire or mechanical failure, or one of its suppliers not being able to provide a component as they have suffered from an insurable loss.

It is critical in a manufacturing environment that you utilise an insurance broker that not only understand the risks of supply chain management but also the consequences if it fails. At Strathearn we provide risk advice to some of the largest manufacturers and more importantly have settled one of Australia’s largest failure of supply chain claims.

The other major issue that face manufacturers is workers compensation and claims management. Strathearn understands the importance of arranging the correct style of workers compensation policy to meet the sophistication of each individual client and how to assist in managing claims to ensure that claims cost do not escalate. Workers compensation usually represents about 50% of a manufacturers insurance bill and it is critical that it is managed properly.

It is important that your broker designs a client specific insurance programme as no two manufacturers are the same. At Strathearn we have highly experienced senior brokers who know how to arrange the correct insurances and more importantly to make sure your claim is paid.
