Partner referral focus

Precision & Advanced Manufacturing Insurance

A specialist referral route for partners working with CNC shops, precision engineers, niche manufacturers, medical device producers, semiconductor businesses, robotics firms and engineering manufacturers that need a more technical insurance conversation.

CNC and tolerance-led risks Product liability and recall Machinery and interruption dependency Regulated or high-reliability supply

Where this helps partners

Use this route when a client is too technical for a generic manufacturing conversation, or when their current insurance presentation does not clearly explain the production process, customer contracts, machinery dependency or downstream failure severity.

Ideal referral signals

  • Precision machining, CNC, grinding, toolmaking or tolerance-led component work.
  • Manufacturing for aerospace, medical, automotive, semiconductor, robotics or OEM supply chains.
  • High-value machinery, specialist tooling, clean areas, inspection equipment or long repair lead times.
  • Customer contracts that mention liability limits, recall, quality standards or continuity obligations.

Insurance themes to review

  • Material damage, machinery breakdown and business interruption.
  • Product liability, product recall and professional indemnity where design or specification input exists.
  • Cyber, CAD/CAM, firmware, OT or IP exposure where digital production is business critical.
  • Transit, tools, customer goods and subcontracted finishing or treatment processes.

Information that improves triage

  • Products made, sectors supplied, tolerances, standards and export territories.
  • Machinery values, stock, WIP, customer goods and recovery lead times.
  • QA, traceability, calibration, maintenance, inspection and recall controls.
  • Claims history, contract requirements and any previous insurer concerns.

Useful partner asset

For renewal conversations, the manufacturing checklist gives clients a practical way to gather machinery, liability, interruption and risk-control information before market presentation.
