For best results, submit complete applications with loss runs, descriptions of operations, details on safety and training programs, and any relevant certificates of compliance. Underwriters will evaluate on operational controls, loss history, and payroll detail.

These programs combine specialty underwriting, flexible capacity, and access to well-capitalized markets and reinsurers to address exposures unique to municipalities, school systems, special districts, public housing authorities and similar public entities. Ideal accounts and appetite Municipalities (cities, towns, counties) Public schools and higher education institutions Special districts and service authorities Public housing authorities and municipal utilities Pools and joint powers authorities seeking programmatic solutions You should consider these programs when your client needs higher capacity, layered solutions, or specialized terms crafted for public entities that standard commercial markets struggle to accommodate. Coverage highlights and advantages Public Entity Property: Up to $50M capacity per risk; administered by ASCS and written by a non-admitted carrier; excess follow-form; no TIV cap. Note: unable to participate on lead/primary layers. Public Entity Casualty: Liability offered as follow-form excess or reinsurance; up to $3M per occurrence; placed on AM Best “A-” paper and backed by a panel of global reinsurers; strong underwriting and claims expertise.

Key considerations include existing policy layers (for follow-form placements), desired limit structure, loss history for public-sector operations, and whether the client is a pool or a single entity. The Property program operates on non-admitted paper; casualty and workers’ comp placements use admitted markets or reinsurer-backed structures depending on the program. Amwins’ underwriting team expects complete submissions with current values, schedules of locations, loss runs, and details on risk-transfer arrangements.

This program from Amwins Underwriting is tailored for a broad set of metal and plastics operations, including custom machining, metal finishing, foundries, and plastics manufacturers such as extruders and injection molders.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite The program works best for mid-market manufacturing and distribution operations with predictable loss histories and controlled production exposures. Typical classes that fit the program include: - Custom Machining Operations - Distributors of Metalworking and Plastic related products - Electroplaters - Foundries - Machine Parts Manufacturers - Machine Shops - Metal Finishers/Treaters - Extruders - Plastic Injection Molders - Plastic Manufacturers Accounts generally must have operations focused on manufacturing or distribution rather than installation or finished consumer products. The following are outside the program’s appetite: - Installation - Contractors - Consumer Products - Finished Goods - Aircraft / Aerospace Products - Structural Metal Coverage Highlights and Advantages - Property (including special property form enhancements in most states) - Equipment Breakdown - General Liability - Inland Marine - Crime - Commercial Auto - Commercial Umbrella - Stop Gap Liability - Workers' Compensation - Employment Practices Liability Insurance - Product Withdrawal Expense - Excess - Cyber Liability Coverage is provided on an admitted basis unless otherwise indicated. The program’s strengths include industry-focused underwriting, flexible package A/I placements for typical manufacturing exposures, and available enhancements for property and equipment breakdown that are important to production-dependent operations.

Typical submission requirements include: - Industry standard applications - Metal & Plastics Supplemental Questionnaire - Metal Finishing Supplemental Questionnaire if applicable - Foundries Supplemental Questionnaire if applicable - Prior Premium and Loss Information for all lines (5 years minimum) - Brochures or Product Descriptions - Completed Business Income worksheet if requested limit exceeds $750,000 and/or writing coverage on an Agreed Amount basis Please send submissions to: [email protected] *This is intended as a brief overview of the coverages offered.

Underwriting and endorsed coverages may vary by state, and admitted coverage is the default unless otherwise noted. Why Place This Business with Amwins Underwriting Amwins Underwriting brings deep, program-level expertise in metal and plastics exposures, a stable admitted platform in most states, and targeted forms and endorsements that reflect manufacturing needs. You should consider this program when you need a consolidated package for both property and liability exposures with experience handling product, equipment breakdown and business income exposures common to manufacturing clients. Example accounts - You might have a mid-sized machine shop that performs custom parts production and needs equipment breakdown coverage and agreed-value business income limits while maintaining product liability protection for assembled components. - Or a plastic injection molder that supplies parts to industrial clients and requires inland marine for shipped tooling, cyber liability, and product withdrawal expense coverage. Frequently Asked Questions What types of accounts are a good fit for the Metal & Plastics Insurance Program?Mid-market metalworking and plastics manufacturers or distributors with manufacturing-focused operations—machine shops, foundries, electroplaters, extruders and injection molders—are the primary targets. The program prefers production/distribution exposures rather than installation contractors or finished consumer goods manufacturers. Is the program admitted in all states?The program is available in all states and is offered on an admitted basis unless otherwise indicated. Specific forms and availability can vary by state. What documentation do underwriters expect with a submission?Provide standard applications, the Metal & Plastics supplemental questionnaire (and any applicable finishing or foundry questionnaires), five years of prior premium and loss information, product descriptions or brochures, and a business income worksheet when requested limits exceed the stated threshold.
