Understanding Risk Characteristics in the Wire Factory Industry
Wire mills are vital components in infrastructure, electrical, and automotive supply chains. However, their production processes involve machines with high electrical loads and continuous operation. The main risks often encountered are fires caused by overheating of the machines or electrical system failures. Furthermore, key raw materials such as copper and aluminum are highly liquid and have high market value, making them prime targets for theft.
From an insurance perspective, this operation requires special attention. Businesses often focus solely on standard fire insurance, even though its coverage is very limited. The wire industry requires all-risks property insurance that covers unexpected physical damage. Failure to identify these risks early often results in painful claim denials when disaster strikes.
Why is Property All Risk (PAR) Insurance the Main Foundation?
For a factory, the building is merely a container, but the machinery and production equipment are its heart. Property All Risk (PAR) insurance provides far more comprehensive protection than a standard policy. PAR covers all risks of sudden physical damage not specifically excluded in the policy. This includes fire, explosion, lightning, smoke, riots, and natural disasters like floods that could inundate your precision machinery.
In the wire factory industry, a breakdown in a single wire drawing machine can cause a bottleneck in the entire production line. Therefore, your PAR policy wording should ensure it includes an Electrical Data Processing clause or a Machinery Breakdown extension. Without the assistance of a broker to draft these clauses, the insurance company may only cover building damage, ignoring the potentially costly internal damage to the machinery.
Given the technical complexities inherent in any industrial insurance contract, it’s highly risky to place asset protection without the assistance of a professional who understands insurance law. To ensure the most secure protection structure for your factory’s physical assets, a prudent first step is to conduct a thorough policy audit.
Strategies to Secure Inventory with Wire Factory Stock Insurance
One of the most frequently disputed elements in claims is the value of inventory or stock. Wire manufacturers typically hold inventory in three forms: raw materials (such as copper ingots), work-in-progress, and finished goods. Using inventory insurance designed with a stock declaration system is highly recommended.
With Wire Factory stock insurance, you can ensure that the compensation you receive in the event of a disaster reflects the most recent market value or accurate acquisition value. This is crucial because global copper and aluminum prices fluctuate significantly. If you under-insure your stock, the insurance company will apply an average, significantly reducing your claim payment.
L&G Insurance Broker helps you develop this stock reporting strategy to ensure you pay efficient premiums while ensuring maximum coverage. We ensure your stock insurance covers the risks of burglary and smoke contamination, which often damage the quality of fine wire.
OJK Technical Review of Code 2031: Reference Premium Rate for the Wire Industry
In Indonesia, property insurance premium rates are not determined haphazardly, but rather follow the risk classification established by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). For the wire, bolt, nut, and similar metal products industry, the applicable code is OJK Code 2030.
What is Covered in OJK Code 2031?
- OJK Classification Code 2031 refers to: Manufacture of metal products, wire works, bolts, nuts, screws, and other similar metal products.
It’s important to understand that OJK Code 2031 establishes a premium rate threshold for property insurance. This rate reflects the risk profile of the metals industry, which is considered to have a medium fire risk. However, your company’s premium rate position between the lower and upper limits set by the OJK depends heavily on the results of the risk survey.
Insurance brokers like L&G understand this and will help you improve your factory’s risk profile in the eyes of underwriters. With robust safety SOPs and adequate fire suppression systems, we can negotiate more efficient premium rates without compromising the quality of coverage. Incorrectly assigning an occupational code isn’t just a matter of premium cost; it can also lead to claim denials due to “misrepresentation of risk.”
Addressing the Risk of Machinery Breakdown and Business Disruption
For wire manufacturers, machinery breakdowns are often more common than major fires. However, many standard property insurance policies exclude internal damage to machinery caused by wear and tear, operational errors, or internal short circuits. Therefore, Machinery Breakdown (MB) insurance is mandatory as a supplement to PAR.
Furthermore, if a key machine breaks down and the factory is unable to operate for months, the company will lose revenue while still covering fixed costs such as employee salaries and bank installments. This is where Business Interruption (BI) insurance comes in. BI will cover lost gross profit during the operational recovery period.
Understanding the link between physical damage and financial losses resulting from business interruption requires a thorough analysis. To ensure your company’s financial future despite a disaster, a multi-layered and integrated protection strategy is essential.
