The metal fastener manufacturing industry, which produces nails, screws, bolts, and nuts, is the foundation of the national construction and automotive sectors. However, despite their massive production, these factories face complex operational risks—from fire hazards during heat treatment processes and damage to precision machinery to the risk of theft of valuable metal stocks. Without specifically designed inventory insurance coverage, financial losses from a single incident in the production area can permanently cripple a company’s cash flow.
This article discusses why factory stock insurance is a crucial business lifeline and how a technical understanding of the OJK Code 2030 regulations can optimize your premium efficiency. L&G Insurance Broker is here as an expert partner, ensuring every inch of your industrial assets is protected from legal loopholes and unexpected physical risks. Given the significant investment value at stake in your daily operations, it is crucial for you to receive assistance from an insurance broker specializing in metal manufacturing.

Operational Complexities in Metal Fastener Manufacturing
The industry that produces nails, screws, bolts, and nuts is often considered a “common commodity” industry. However, from a risk management perspective, these operations involve intensive metallurgical processes, from wire drawing, cold heading, thread rolling, to heat treatment and electroplating.
Each of these stages uses large amounts of electrical power and chemicals, creating a constant risk of overheating. The primary risk facing these factories is not just structural damage, but also contamination of the vast inventory of finished goods. Corrosive fumes from a small fire in the packaging area, for example, can damage the corrosion-resistant coating on millions of bolts ready for shipment, even if the fire doesn’t directly touch the goods. Therefore, relying solely on standard fire insurance policies is a highly risky move for the sustainability of your manufacturing business.
Why is Specialty Insurance the Lifeblood of the Fasteners Industry?
In the fastener manufacturing ecosystem, the greatest economic value often lies not in the building itself, but rather in the inventory of raw materials and finished goods. Iron, steel, copper, and aluminum are commodities with high intrinsic value. This makes raw material storage warehouses prime targets for theft or loss due to natural disasters.
Nails Factories Special Insurance
Nail factories produce extremely high volumes of products. The primary risk here is the breakdown of their high-speed nail-cutting machines. Without Nails Factories’ specialized insurance coverage, a sudden machine failure could halt deliveries to thousands of hardware stores.
Screws Factories Special Insurance
Screws require high precision. The production process involves automated machinery that is sensitive to power surges. Screws Factories’ specialized insurance ensures that in the event of internal damage to these precision machines, your operations will not be interrupted for long.
Bolts Factories and Nuts Factories Special Insurance
Bolts and nuts are often manufactured for heavy industries such as automotive and heavy equipment. Their quality standards are extremely stringent. When managing Bolt Factories and Nut Factories insurance, insurance brokers must ensure that product liability risks are addressed, as malfunctions in construction bolts can have serious legal consequences for manufacturers.
Understanding that each unit of your product represents billions of rupiah in working capital, ensuring seamless financial protection is a risk management step that cannot be postponed. To ensure that every rupiah you invest in inventory is protected without any detrimental exceptions, it is wise to conduct a policy audit with our team of experts today.

Security Strategy Through Factory Stock Insurance
Managing factory inventory insurance in the nail and bolt sector requires a dynamic approach. Unlike furniture inventory, metal inventory is massively heavy but highly susceptible to oxidation (rust) in the event of a warehouse roof leak or flooding. Even minor damage to a bolt’s threads due to impact during a fire can render it unsaleable due to its failure to meet Indonesian National Standard (SNI) or international standards.
L&G Insurance Broker helps you structure a policy that includes:
- Smoke Contamination Risk: Protect bolts and nuts from corrosive residues after a fire in the factory area.
- Burglary Risk: Special protection for liquid metal stocks on the black market.
- Risk of Accidental Damage: Coverage during the transfer process (internal transit) within the factory area using a forklift.
Proper use of stock insurance allows entrepreneurs to transfer the financial risk of losing these valuable materials to the insurance company with compensation value according to the latest market price.
- Technical Analysis of OJK Code 2030: Standard Premium Rates for the Metal Industry
In Indonesia, property and stock insurance placements must comply with the occupational classification codes established by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). For the nail, screw, bolt, and nut industry, the most accurate classification is OJK Code 2030.
Getting to Know OJK Code 2030
- Kode ini merujuk pada: Manufacture of metal products, wire works, bolts, nuts, screws, and other similar metal products.
It’s important for factory owners to understand that this code determines the legal base premium rate in Indonesia. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) sets the floor and ceiling premium rates for this category. Incorrectly assigned code—for example, classifying it as a general warehouse—can be a strong reason for insurance companies to reject claims as a “misrepresentation of risk.”
Insurance brokers like L&G understand this all too well. We ensure your risk is accurately allocated to Code 2030 and help you secure the most efficient premium rates by highlighting your factory’s fire protection system and risk management to underwriters.
Cost Efficiency with Stock Declaration Clause
One of the advantages of using a broker to manage stock insurance is the implementation of a Stock Declaration Clause. The fasteners industry often experiences stock values that fluctuate drastically each month depending on global steel prices and construction project demand.
With the declaration system, you don’t have to pay premiums based on the maximum stock value throughout the year. You only pay premiums based on the average stock value reported each month. This is a smart strategy for maintaining manufacturing company liquidity while ensuring your factory’s stock insurance is adequate in the event of a major warehouse disaster.
Understanding the uncertainties of volatile manufacturing operations requires flexible and targeted insurance solutions. It requires a partner who not only sells policies but also stands by you during a crisis.

Business Interruption: Protecting Factory Survival
The biggest risk in a nail and bolt factory isn’t just a building fire, but a production shutdown. If a key cold heading machine breaks down, it can take months to source spare parts or replacement machines from overseas (such as Taiwan or Germany). During this period, the company has no revenue, but fixed costs like employee salaries and bank interest still have to be paid.
Business Interruption (BI) insurance is a must-have solution to complement property insurance. This policy will cover lost gross profit during the operational recovery period. An insurance broker will help you calculate an accurate Indemnity Period to ensure your company doesn’t run out of cash before the factory returns to normal operations.
The Strategic Role of L&G Insurance Brokers in Claims Assistance
Insurance claims in the nail and bolt manufacturing industry are rarely straightforward. Insurance companies will appoint a loss adjuster to examine every detail of the incident. Without a broker, businesses often lose technical arguments about the cause of machine failure or the depreciation value of metal stock.

Our focus is on ensuring you receive the maximum compensation you deserve under the contract, so your nail, screw, bolt, and nut business can quickly get back on its feet.
