Why do Industrial Gas Suppliers need comprehensive insurance coverage?
Gas is a hazardous material, and as a supplier, you are supplying and transporting this material for your customers. Regardless of whether you supply small or large businesses or which industrial gases you provide, you face risks in being part of the supply chain. There are other additional risks involved in owning this type of business as well that you need to be covered for. Your business depends on delivering your product safely to your customers, and it is our job to help ensure you are protected during this process.
What types of insurance coverage should Industrial Gas Suppliers have?
Here are some of the coverage types available that you should consider as part of your portfolio for your industrial gas supply business:
Property Insurance coverage protects your business’s main property/facility, buildings & structures, equipment etc., as well your inventory.

Crime Insurance protection is also a valuable coverage to consider given the highly sought-after nature and high cost of your product.
