Yes, Chubb Assembly is designed for manufacturing companies and distributors of the manufacturing products as they might have similar exposures. Companies positioned in the manufacturing supply chain as a distributor or wholesaler will be eligible for Chubb Assembly as they have the same exposures as a manufacturer.
In some countries, these distributors are also deemed to be manufacturers of the products if the manufacturer does not have a presence in the country.
We will evaluate the types of product(s) and solutions that the subcontractor offers to determine whether Chubb Assembly or a monoline General Liability and Professional Liability (E&O) would best suit the subcontractor's needs.
There is no minimum premium amount as Chubb Assembly is a package policy tailored to individual clients’ needs. There are several factors to be considered which would influence the premium, including but not limited to:
a. Coverage sections required;
b. Size of company;
c. Nature of business (e.g. products manufactured);
d. Limits of Insurance; and
e. Exposure levels.
Premiums are based on individual components of the policy – Product Liability, Recall, Errors & Omissions (E&O) and Cyber. Our underwriters will review your company’s requirements and price the risks based on coverage and limits of each component, before combining them into one package solution. Premiums can cost less than S$10,000 for a small manufacturing company.
