This large manufacturing operation reached out to our professionals after they acquired one of our long-term clients. The acquiring company had traditionally viewed insurance as a commodity.
Our team began the process with Exposure Identification which uncovered both uninsured and underinsured exposures. There was concern that the cost of the fixes would nullify any premium savings. The Risk Strategies step outlined solutions to not only properly protect their assets but reduce their rate structure by over 50%.
