At Brindabella Insurance Brokers, we help manufacturers arrange tailored insurance solutions designed to meet the unique needs of their industry.
What Is Manufacturing Insurance?
Manufacturing Insurance is designed for businesses involved in producing, processing or assembling goods across a wide range of industries.
Unlike standard business insurance, manufacturing businesses often require specialised cover to protect machinery, inventory, products, employees and the ongoing operation of their business.

- Fire and property damage
- Equipment and machinery breakdown
- Product defects and recalls
- Supply chain disruptions
- Theft and malicious damage
- Business interruption
- Workplace injuries
- Public liability claims
- Product liability claims
- Cyber security incidents
A tailored insurance program can help reduce the financial impact of these events and support business continuity when unexpected incidents occur.
Insurance Options May Include
Depending on your operations, cover may include:
- Industrial Special Risks Insurance
- Business Interruption Insurance
- Machinery Breakdown Insurance
- Public Liability Insurance
- Product Liability Insurance

Frequently asked questions
Do I need product liability as a manufacturer?
If you make or supply products, product liability is important. It responds if a product you manufactured causes injury or damage to a third party.
Is machinery breakdown included?
It can be added. Machinery and electronic breakdown cover repairs or replaces critical plant when it fails, and can be paired with business interruption for the income you lose while it is down.
How is my premium worked out?
Premiums reflect what you make, your turnover, your equipment and your claims history. We review these with you and place cover with insurers suited to your industry.
