Insurance for Foundries & Casting Operations
Protecting the Backbone of Metal Manufacturing
Foundries and casting operations form the core of the industrial world — where raw metal takes shape and strength is born. Whether you’re pouring molten aluminum, steel, or bronze, your work transforms materials into the components that power machinery, construction, and manufacturing across California and beyond. But with high heat, heavy equipment, and strict production schedules, foundry operations face significant risks every single day.
At Metal Shop Insurance, we understand that your business isn’t like any other manufacturing facility. Casting involves specialized hazards — from furnace explosions and metal splatter to equipment breakdowns and environmental exposure. That’s why we design custom insurance policies crafted specifically for foundries and metal casting operations. Our coverage helps protect your buildings, furnaces, molds, employees, and finished goods — so when something goes wrong, your business keeps running strong.

The Unique Risks of Foundries and Casting Facilities
Few workplaces match the complexity or danger of a foundry. Between molten metal handling, chemical exposure, air quality issues, and machine hazards, your team operates in an environment that demands both precision and protection. Even with safety protocols in place, accidents and equipment failures can occur at any stage of production — resulting in injuries, production loss, or costly damage.
In addition to physical risks, foundries also face liability exposures from product performance, property damage, or environmental contamination. If a cast component fails after delivery, or a spill leads to pollution claims, your business could face significant financial setbacks. Metal Shop Insurance helps safeguard you from these losses with tailored industrial coverage that fits the unique demands of metal casting — from small foundries to large-scale manufacturing plants.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all protection. Instead, our specialists analyze your operations, materials, and workflow to build an insurance program that aligns with your specific risk profile — covering everything from molten material handling to finished product distribution.
