Is your wood stock still insured for the correct amount?

Wood prices fluctuate. Stock values rise. Production processes are becoming more complex. But are you sure your insurance still matches today's actual risks?

Many wood businesses only discover that their coverage is no longer adequate when damage occurs.

We help you stay ahead of the game.

Are you sure you have all the risks covered?

The timber sector has specific risks that can have a major financial impact:

 

  • Fire in storage or production

  • Machine breakdown with production stoppage

  • Liability for the delivery of construction timber

  • Damage during transport or storage

  • Absenteeism in specialist positions

  • A cyberattack on your ERP or inventory system

 

The question many entrepreneurs ask themselves: "Am I really well insured, or do I just think I am?"

We provide insight into what these risks mean for your business. No standard policy comparison, but an analysis of the impact on your business and its continuity.

Cyber risks: increasingly relevant in the timber sector too 

Your production, inventory management, and order processing run on digital systems. What happens if they suddenly shut down due to a cyberattack? A ransomware attack can block your ERP system, delay deliveries, and compromise customer data. This has direct consequences for your turnover, reputation, and continuity.

Cyber is not an IT issue, but a business risk. Want to know how to protect your timber company against this? Read more about our approach to cyber risks and cyber insurance.
