From the planting of trees, through the manufacturing and distribution of the finished product, we are here to cover you every step of the way.
Harvesting and Logging Insurance
Planting, growing, and managing timber is a major investment of time and money, and requires significant maintenance. Meanwhile, logging has consistently been one of the most hazardous industries in the United States. Traditional insurance for these businesses is expensive and inadequate. With our risk assessment expertise and carrier partners, we have access to exclusive insurance programs to protect standing timber and loggers.
Transportation and Hauling Insurance
Whether it’s moving logs from the woods to the mills, or the finished product from the mills to the customer, the transportation process is a critical aspect of our nationwide forest products industry. Due to the high-hazard risk, it can be exceedingly difficult to find competitive and comprehensive coverage. Our transportation division will work tirelessly to find the proper insurance coverage to fit your specific needs.
Manufacturing and Distribution Insurance
From sawmills to wood treaters to building materials dealers, each manufacturing and distribution operation has its own unique risk characteristics and insurance coverage needs. We take the time to learn and understand your business and its unique needs in order to develop an insurance and risk management program that works for you.
We work with agents and their insureds to develop effective programs to mitigate and minimize hazards, and maximize the money spent to protect their assets.
Our risk assessment engineers will work collaboratively with you and your client to lower the chances of the catastrophic losses that are all too familiar in this industry. We accomplish this by providing in-person risk assessments and technical evaluations of your facility and operations, a comprehensive set of workplace safety procedures, and the expertise of a team who has been in the industry their entire careers.

Continental Underwriters, Inc. is looking for an Underwriting Technician!
PRICELESS and PARTNER are 2 words he used in describing Corey’s involvement on the project. He also stated that several hundreds of thousands of dollars had been saved due to his abilities and knowledge. I’m not sure if there is a template on how to solidify relationships with new clients but bringing PRICELESS PARTNERS to the table that save them hundreds of thousands of dollars is probably a pretty good start.
