Manufacturers Insurance Malaysia: Protect the Factory, Machinery, Stock and Business Continuity
Manufacturing risks can involve buildings, machinery, raw materials, finished goods, employees, products and business interruption. A manufacturer needs to look at the operation as a connected risk rather than one policy in isolation.
