Manufacturing
Protecting your production & supply chain
Manufacturers face evolving risks as technology, automation, and global supply chains reshape the industry. Equipment breakdowns, fires, or supplier disruptions can halt production and lead to costly delays, while digitalization introduces new cyber vulnerabilities across connected machinery and production systems.
At Fairpoint, we help traditional and advanced manufacturers build insurance programs that protect both their physical assets and digital infrastructure. Whether you produce industrial components, batteries, or consumer goods, we structure coverage that supports capacity, compliance, and continuity.
Why it matters
Modern manufacturing depends on complex networks of suppliers, systems, and technology. A single mechanical failure, data breach, or contaminated batch can have a cascading financial impact. As machinery becomes increasingly connected, cyber exposure now represents one of the fastest-growing risks for manufacturers.
Fairpoint partners with insurers who understand industrial operations and emerging sectors such as battery production and energy storage. We ensure that coverage addresses both operational and digital risks, helping businesses maintain production targets and meet client expectations.
Our approach
We work with plant managers, owners, and engineers to understand operational processes, dependencies, and emerging risks before structuring coverage.
Our process includes:
Reviewing capacity plans, supply chains, and automation systems
Review cybersecurity practices and OT segmentation
Placing coverage with markets experienced in traditional and advanced manufacturing
What coverage you need
Typical insurance considerations for manufacturers include:
Property and Equipment Breakdown for facilities and production lines
Cyber insurance for cyber attacks & social engineering fraud
Business Interruption for supply chain and production loss
Product Liability for defective components or materials
Cyber Liability for connected systems and data-driven machinery
