Understanding Aluminium Foundry Insurance in the UK
Aluminium casting insurance must address both traditional manufacturing risks and the unique hazards of molten metal operations. Fires originating from furnaces, die casting machines or hot aluminium spills can rapidly escalate, damaging buildings, equipment and third-party property.
Additionally, defective aluminium components may only fail once installed into vehicles, machinery or structural assemblies — creating complex product liability and recall exposures.
Insure24 works with insurers experienced in aluminium and ferrous foundries, ensuring policies respond correctly to real-world claims scenarios.

What insurance does an aluminium foundry need?
Aluminium foundries typically require Employers’ Liability, Public &
Products Liability, Buildings & Contents, Machinery Breakdown,
Business Interruption and often Product Recall or Environmental cover.
Does insurance cover molten metal accidents?
Yes — specialist foundry policies can cover fire, explosion, injury and
property damage arising from molten aluminium incidents, subject to
policy terms.

Absolutely. Defective aluminium castings can cause costly downstream
failures, recalls and contractual claims.
Do insurers require HSE or ISO controls?
Yes. Insurers expect documented risk assessments, hot works procedures,
fume extraction and maintenance schedules.
How much does aluminium foundry insurance cost?
Premiums depend on turnover, furnace types, number of employees,
claims history and products manufactured. Quotes are highly bespoke.
Can cover include automotive or aerospace supply?
Yes. Policies can be tailored to OEM supply chains, contractual
indemnities and recall exposures.
Is environmental liability required?
Often yes — aluminium waste, dross and emissions can trigger
environmental claims and regulatory action.
