Most semiconductor and OEM supplier contracts require general liability with products and completed operations, an umbrella, workers' compensation with a waiver of subrogation, and commercial auto. The customer must also be named as additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis, and chemical or facility suppliers are often asked for pollution liability.

First U.S. location? We explain how Texas coverage works and coordinate with your home-country program.
Not every company needs every line. Your contract and your operations decide which ones apply and at what limits.
Injury or damage caused by your work or the parts you ship, with the additional insured wording your customer asks for.
Raises your limits to what large customers require, over general liability, auto and employer's liability.
Costs of pulling a defective batch, and claims that your part didn't perform to spec, which general liability usually excludes.
Spills, releases and contamination from chemicals and gases, at your site or at the customer's.
Your building, CNC and process equipment, and the income you lose while it's down, including when a key supplier goes down.
Required by most plant contracts in Texas, with the waiver of subrogation endorsement your customer will ask for.
Vehicles that deliver to the plant, and the parts or materials while they're in transit.
Breaches, ransomware and loss of customer drawings or specs, increasingly required in supplier security terms.
Having a policy isn't enough. A missing endorsement can hold up your certificate and your first order.
| Contract term | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Additional insured, ongoing and completed operations | Your customer is covered under your policy for claims arising from your work, during the job and after it ends. |
| Primary and non-contributory | Your policy pays first, before the customer's own insurance is touched. |
| Waiver of subrogation | Your insurer agrees not to recover its claim costs from the customer. |
| Minimum limits and umbrella | Per-occurrence and aggregate limits, often stacked with an umbrella to reach the total the contract asks for. |
| Notice of cancellation | The customer must be told in advance if your coverage is cancelled. |
| Certificate before work starts | Proof of all of the above, usually before a vendor number or purchase order is issued. |

Chemical and facility suppliers often need pollution liability as well. Send us the insurance section and we'll tell you exactly what's missing.
It can cover injury or damage the part causes. It usually doesn't cover the cost of recalling a batch or a claim that the part simply didn't meet spec. Product recall and manufacturers' E&O fill those gaps.
Once coverage is bound, we can usually issue certificates with the required endorsements the same day, so your vendor setup isn't held up.
It depends mainly on payroll, revenue, what you make and who you sell to. Parts for automotive, aerospace or semiconductor customers usually cost more than general job-shop work. Upload your requirements and we'll quote your actual program, typically within 3–10 business days.
