Ammunition & Explosives Manufacturing

Ammunition and explosives manufacturer insurance, built for the class.

Ammunition makers, component and energetics suppliers, and remanufacturers. Products, plant and materials rated on how you actually load, store and ship, with markets that write the class.

Know your coverage

What ammunition manufacturer insurance should cover.

Ammunition and explosives manufacturing is one of the classes standard carriers decline first, and the markets that do write it want a clear picture of the plant, the process and the materials on hand.

A good program rates products liability on what you actually produce, schedules energetic materials and finished goods separately, and covers the loading lines that keep the business running. We build the submission so underwriters see that picture before they price it.

  1. 01

    Products liability

    For loaded ammunition, components and energetic materials once they leave your control, rated on what you actually produce.

  2. 02

    Property & inventory

    Plant, loading equipment, magazines and finished goods scheduled by category, including powder and primer storage.

  3. 03

    Equipment breakdown & business income

    Loading lines and production machinery, plus the income lost while a line is down.

  4. 04

    Excess & umbrella

    Higher limits for distributor, retailer and government contract requirements.

Why Clandestine

Why ammunition makers call us

  1. 01

    Markets that write energetics

    Rated on your process

    Loading, storage and shipping are described the way you actually run them, which is often where the price comes down.

  3. 03

    Materials scheduled properly

    Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods scheduled by category, so a loss pays out the way it should.

  4. 04

    We explain the terms

    Exclusions and conditions that matter for ammunition and explosives are spelled out before you bind.
