Understanding the Unique Risks of Aerospace Machining
Machining aerospace components involves high-value contracts, advanced technology, and extreme accuracy. Unlike general metal fabrication, aerospace shops face higher exposure to quality control issues, product liability, and supply chain delays.
Common risks include:
Product failure or design flaw claims from OEMs and aviation clients.
Equipment damage or downtime due to CNC failure, power surges, or calibration errors.
Property damage from fires, coolant leaks, or machine malfunctions.
Employee injuries from high-speed machining or material handling.
Cyber threats targeting proprietary aerospace data and CAD designs.
Regulatory non-compliance under FAA, AS9100, or DoD manufacturing standards.
Transit losses for high-value components sent for inspection or testing.
Our mission is to keep your business running smoothly through unexpected challenges — from mechanical failure to product recalls — so you can focus on innovation, not interruption.

Common Insurance Questions for Metal & Manufacturing Businesses
Aerospace manufacturing involves extremely tight tolerances and high-value products. Specialized insurance ensures you’re covered for precision errors, product defects, and compliance-related issues that standard manufacturing policies overlook.
Yes — with the proper aerospace endorsement. Our policies protect your business if a machined part contributes to a failure or malfunction in testing or operation.
Equipment Breakdown Insurance helps cover repair or replacement costs and includes compensation for lost production time under Business Interruption coverage.
Absolutely. Aerospace machining involves highly confidential blueprints and specifications. A single cyber breach could lead to major financial and legal repercussions — our Cyber Liability Insurance mitigates that risk.
