When Expertise Matters
Our experienced staff entertains unique and complex exposures and hard-to-place accounts, providing our broker partners a single resource to place a multitude of exposures.
Manufacturing & Products
Vela recognizes the importance of transparent and comprehensive forms and our seasoned underwriting team can proactively craft solutions for unique and unusual risks. We have in-depth expertise in providing coverages for manufacturing industries that utilize cutting-edge technology, start-up operations, and product importers. We excel in structuring coverage for discontinued products and completed operations, IBNR (Incurred But Not Reported), blemished or hard-to-place risks, and conversion from Claims Made to Occurrence (NOSE coverage).
