Manufacturer’s Penalty Insurance

A commercial policy covering losses due to the unavailability of a product the insured has contracted to supply or manufacture.

Coverage is purchased in amounts based on the contract between the insured and the buyer of the product. The objective is to protect the insured against responsibility for delays in completion due to non-delivery.

Coverage is usually a percentage (i.e., 90%) of the penalty amount, but excludes coverage for delays due to a labor dispute.
