BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Liberty International Underwriters (LIU), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance, has launched LIU Packagers Protection, a new LIU Product Recall policy for packagers and co-packers.
Designed specifically for packagers and co-packers of topical and ingestible products, the unique LIU Packagers Protection policy provides a broad trigger in the market for this type of cover offering a form with Product Recall, Product Contamination or Manufacturing Errors & Omissions as the potential trigger. It is custom tailored for a broad range of the packaging industry, including manufacturers of packaging for food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and personal care (topical and ingestible products) as well as co-packers, fillers and mixed operations that may include both packaging and processing.
Packagers and co-packers have significant exposure from third-party financial loss due to the nature of their business, said Louis Lubrano, senior vice president of LIU Global Crisis Management. The combination of broad triggers and cover for third-party loss of earnings lets us respond to this exposure in a way that is not currently offered anywhere else in the market.
red24, the crisis management firm that provides LIU policyholders with specialized loss control engineering and loss mitigation services, is also an integral part of this new policy. With red24, LIU helps brokers secure the coverage that can protect their clients employees, operations, and reputation before, during and after a crisis.
Brokers and agents can contact Mr. Lubrano directly at 212-208-9543 or louis.lubrano@libertyiu.com.
