Industrial insurance in Quebec: protect your factory and equipment
Industrial businesses face unique risks: fire in a factory, critical equipment breakdown, liability to customers for defective products, accidental environmental contamination. A well-built industrial insurance policy protects your assets, your revenue and your reputation. Specialized brokers from our partner brokerages compare the best offers on the market.
Why industrial insurance is different from other commercial policies
Industrial risks are particularly complex. Equipment is often worth millions of dollars, production lines are interdependent, and a claim can sideline dozens of employees for weeks or months. Industrial insurance is built to cover these specific realities.
| Industrial risk | Coverage required | Typical financial exposure |
|---|---|---|
| Fire / explosion | Property + business interruption | $1M – $50M |
| Critical equipment breakdown | Equipment breakdown + business losses | $100K – $5M |
| Injury to an employee or customer | Commercial + employer’s liability | $100K – $2M |
| Manufactured product defect | Product liability | $500K – $10M |
| Accidental chemical spill | Pollution / environmental liability | $500K – $20M |
| Cyberattack halting production | Cyber + business interruption | $200K – $5M |
The 6 essential coverages of an industrial policy
1. Industrial property insurance
It covers your building, your production equipment, and your inventories of raw materials and finished goods against insured perils (fire, explosion, water damage, storm, vandalism). The insured value must reflect the cost of rebuilding and replacement as new — not the book value.
2. Equipment breakdown insurance
Complex industrial equipment (hydraulic presses, industrial furnaces, centrifuges, compressors, CNC systems) can break down for reasons not covered by standard property insurance: electrical surge, internal mechanical failure, operator error. Equipment breakdown insurance fills this critical gap.
3. Business interruption insurance
After a major claim, you continue to pay salaries, rent and bank interest — with no revenue. Business interruption insurance compensates for lost gross margin and fixed costs during the recovery period, which can range from a few weeks to several years for a complex factory.
4. Commercial general liability
It protects your business against third-party claims (customers, suppliers, visitors) for bodily injury or property damage caused on your premises or related to your activities. Recommended limits for the industrial sector are $5M to $10M, especially if you export to the United States.
5. Manufactured product liability
If one of your products causes damage after it is sold — whether resold by a distributor or used by an end customer — you are liable. This coverage is essential for any Quebec manufacturer that sells in Canada, the United States or internationally.
6. Fleet and mobile equipment insurance
Trucks, forklifts, jobsite equipment and utility vehicles used in your operations must be insured separately from your building policy. A bundled commercial fleet policy can generate significant savings.
