Insurance for Retail and Wholesale Distributors
At Eastern Insurance, we understand the unique exposures and critical issues that confront companies in the retail and wholesale distribution industry. Inventory fluctuations make property valuation a challenge. Inventory can be spoiled when a pipe freezes and bursts. Extremes of temperature and humidity can be equally destructive. Electrical fires can happen when there's no one around, and damage can be severe. Unfortunately, there is also a potential for employee theft.
The commercial automobile exposure can also be significant, based on the extensiveness of merchandise delivery. In addition, there may be a need for transportation or motor truck cargo insurance coverage on the merchandise. And the types of merchandise and material handled makes workers' compensation insurance a significant exposure to loss.
For these reasons, adequate and appropriate property insurance coverage is important.
Eastern Insurance provides a comprehensive review of your exposures to develop an insurance program tailored to your size and scope - whether you are a small local supply business or a large multistate distributor - so you can focus on meeting the needs of your customers.
