Essential Manufacturing Insurance Coverage for Montana Businesses
These common insurance policies cover most risks for manufacturers
All Montana manufacturers with employees must carry workers’ compensation coverage. This includes full-time, part-time, seasonal, and occasional employees working in your facility.
Coverage includes:
- Medical expenses for workplace injuries
- Lost wages during recovery periods
- Disability benefits for permanent injuries
- Death benefits for families
Non-compliance penalties start at $200 minimum but can reach double your owed premium amount. More importantly, operating without coverage leaves you personally liable for all employee injury costs – a risk no manufacturer can afford.
Our workers’ comp specialists help you:
- Classify employees correctly to ensure accurate pricing
- Implement safety programs that can reduce your premiums
- Manage claims efficiently to protect your experience rating
- Stay compliant with Montana Department of Labor requirements
Manufacturing operations face unique liability risks that generic business insurance often overlooks. Your facility welcomes suppliers, customers, and contractors who could be injured on your premises or affected by your products.
Montana manufacturers typically pay around $684 annually for general liability coverage, but costs vary based on your specific operations, payroll, and risk factors.
Coverage includes:
- Bodily injury to visitors, customers, or third parties
- Property damage caused by your operations or products
- Product liability claims from defective or harmful products
- Legal defense costs and settlement expenses
Real-world example: A food processing facility had a visitor slip on a wet floor, resulting in a $50,000 medical claim. General liability insurance covered the entire cost, including legal fees, without impacting the manufacturer’s finances.

Your manufacturing facility represents a significant investment in buildings, specialized equipment, inventory, and finished goods. Commercial property insurance protects these physical assets from covered perils.
What’s typically covered:
- Building structures including manufacturing spaces and offices
- Manufacturing equipment and specialized machinery
- Raw materials and work-in-progress inventory
- Finished goods awaiting shipment
- Business personal property like computers and furniture
Montana-specific considerations:
- Wildfire protection for facilities in high-risk areas
- Severe weather coverage, including hail and wind damage
- Flood protection through separate flood insurance policies
- Equipment breakdown coverage for critical manufacturing systems
Every product your facility manufactures carries potential liability exposure. Whether you produce lumber, food products, or high-tech equipment, defective products can result in costly lawsuits and recalls.
Product liability coverage protects against:
- Injury claims from defective products
- Property damage caused by product failures
- Recall expenses including retrieval and disposal costs
- Legal defense for product-related lawsuits
Industry insight: Montana’s diverse manufacturing sector – from lumber and wood products (14% of the workforce) to food processing (12% of the workforce) – each faces unique product liability risks that require specialized coverage approaches.
Protect your products and your reputation with proper liability coverage.
Manufacturing disruptions can be financially devastating. When covered events force you to halt production, business interruption insurance replaces lost income and covers ongoing expenses.
Coverage typically includes:
- Lost revenue during facility shutdowns
- Continuing expenses like payroll and rent
- Extra expenses to resume operations quickly
- Extended period coverage for full recovery
Montana manufacturers benefit from this coverage when wildfires, severe weather, or equipment failures force temporary closures. The peace of mind knowing your business can survive operational interruptions is invaluable.
Business interruption coverage keeps you operational when disaster strikes.
Understanding Manufacturing Risks in Montana
Workplace Safety Challenges
Manufacturing environments present inherent safety risks that require comprehensive risk management and insurance protection. Heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and complex production processes create potential for serious workplace accidents.
Common manufacturing injuries include:
- Machinery accidents from equipment malfunctions or improper use
- Repetitive stress injuries from assembly line work
- Chemical exposure in processing operations
- Slip and fall accidents in production areas
Our risk management approach combines proper insurance coverage with safety program development, helping you reduce both injury frequency and insurance costs.
Smart safety programs can significantly reduce your workers’ comp premiums.
Equipment and Technology Risks
Modern manufacturing relies on sophisticated equipment that represents significant capital investments. Equipment breakdown can halt production, delay orders, and result in substantial financial losses.
Key equipment risks:
- Mechanical breakdowns of critical production machinery
- Electrical failures affecting automated systems
- Computer system crashes disrupting operations
- Cyber attacks targeting manufacturing systems
Equipment breakdown coverage provides repair or replacement costs plus business interruption benefits when covered equipment failures occur.
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Montana manufacturers depend on reliable supply chains for raw materials and component parts. Disruptions can force production delays or shutdowns, impacting your ability to fulfill customer orders.
Supply chain risks include:
- Supplier bankruptcies affecting material availability
- Transportation disruptions delaying deliveries
- Natural disasters impacting supplier facilities
- Quality control failures in incoming materials
Contingent business interruption coverage protects against income losses when supplier problems disrupt your operations.
