Contract manufacturing is a specialised area of the clothing and textile industry. If your business operates as a contract manufacturer – handling production or assembly on behalf of clients – you face unique risks. Our bespoke Contract Manufacturing Liability insurance protects you from claims arising from product defects, errors in production, supply chain issues, and contractual obligations.
At Insure24, we understand the complexities involved in contract manufacturing. Our policies are tailored to cover the specific legal and financial exposures you encounter, giving you peace of mind so you can focus on delivering quality products for your clients.
Contract manufacturers bear significant responsibility for ensuring products meet quality, safety, and contractual standards. Failure to do so can result in costly liability claims, product recalls, or contract breaches. Risks include:
As a contract manufacturer, you enter into agreements that often shift liability from your clients to your business. Whether producing garments, textiles, or components, any fault, delay, or quality issue can trigger claims against you. Having the right insurance ensures you are protected from the financial impact of these risks, including legal defence costs, damages, and loss mitigation.
Even with the most rigorous quality control, accidents and disputes can happen. Insurance provides a financial safety net that helps you manage these situations without jeopardising your business’s survival.
Manufactured products may occasionally have defects that cause harm, damage property, or fail to meet contractual specifications. These defects can lead to costly claims for compensation and product recalls that impact your reputation.
Contract manufacturers often take on responsibility through detailed contracts. Disputes related to delays, quality, or delivery can cause legal expenses and financial liabilities.
Delays or failures by your suppliers or subcontractors can hurt your manufacturing timelines and cause breach of contract claims from clients.
Your contract manufacturing site may face claims from injuries to employees or visitors, or damage to third party property during your operations.
Provide us details about your business, contract manufacturing activities, number of employees, client types, and risk controls in place.
We explain available coverage, limits, and optional extensions like product recall and legal expenses.
