Whether you’re a knitting mill, cut and sew clothing manufacturer or your organization manufactures clothing accessories or component materials, textiles and fabrics, you’re part of an industry that provides valuable products and services and therefore faces several risks. From product liability and negative publicity to supply chain management and day-to-day manufacturing operations, a simple mistake or a malicious act by someone inside or outside of your company could leave you exposed to substantial losses. Our clothing manufacturer insurance packages are tailored to fit your company’s specific risk management needs.
