Industries We Work With
We work with businesses in many of the top
Canadian and global industries.
Automotive Industry
The automotive continues to be one of the most significant drivers of the world’s economy. With technological advances in design, manufacturing, marketing and selling, this compelling sector still offers exciting possibilities.
Aviation & Aerospace
Since the first powered airplane and the first manned moon landing, the aviation and aerospace industry has reached unimaginable heights. From airplane manufacturing to aircraft operations, there are a vast number of specialized businesses in this sector. It’s an exciting time to work in aviation and aerospace.
Communication, Media & Technology
No other industry has created a buzz like the communication, media and tech sector. We use digital electronics, software and internet-related services in every aspect of our lives. And, with smart homes and businesses as well as artificial intelligence, this industry is ever-evolving.
Construction
Whether it’s building condos, infrastructure or industrial complexes, the construction industry is essential to our economic and community growth. With the high level of competition, frequent workplace injuries, damage to your company vehicles or the abundance of regulations, construction is a high-risk industry.
Developers
From architectural drafts and financing to permits and construction, you know what goes into a new development. Each new project, whether small or large, offers vast opportunities – and risks.
Energy & Power
The energy and power industry is incredibly important to our daily lives. Running a business organization in this sector comes with enormous responsibility and a distinctive set of risks.
Food & Beverage Manufacturing
With ever-improving processing and packing systems as well as technological advancements, food and beverage manufacturing is constantly evolving. The industry’s rapid pace of change and its many sectors – from meat-processing to sugar refining to wine production – offer a vast number of opportunities.
Hospitality
The hospitality industry encompasses a wide spectrum of service-related businesses – from hotels, restaurants and cafes to casinos and theme parks. For an industry that focuses on pleasure and enjoyment, there are a high number of risks that can result in claims.
Infrastructure
Canada’s aging infrastructure (roads, bridges, transportation systems, sewer and water systems, power generation, hospitals, and schools) needs to be upgraded or replaced. This entails a massive effort and creates wide-ranging opportunities for organizations in this sector.
Life Sciences
If you have a life sciences business, you recognize the tremendous potential for growth in Canada and around the world. Over and above drug development, fields such as agro-technology, biotechnology, food sciences and nanotechnology present exciting possibilities.
Manufacturing & Wholesale
With technological advances, the evolution of equipment and machinery as well as updated processes, the pace of change in the manufacturing industry is incredible. In addition, a vast number of other sectors rely on manufacturing to get their products to consumers.
Pharma
With financial pressures and significant competition from other sectors, pharma companies like yours have adopted new business models to improve the bottom line. For example, outsourcing manufacturing, or contract manufacturing, can reduce your production costs so you can concentrate on product design and marketing.
Retail
With product specialization, sophisticated branding, international chains and e-commerce, the retail and service industry is changing rapidly. It’s never been more important for you to think outside of the store or restaurant to reach your customers. This means using all the digital channels that are available to you.
Transportation
Whether you’re a sole owner-operator, manage a large fleet of trucks, or handle delicate cargo, we can help. We offer a convenient package policy, combining automobile, cargo and commercial general liability coverage.
Trade Credit
All trade and commerce depends on the trade credit industry in some way. Businesses that use trade credit, can buy products now and pay for them later, freeing up cash for financial growth. However, if you’re a vendor or supplier who extends this type of credit, your biggest risk is the possibility that your customers won’t pay you.
Private Equity & Venture Capital
The popularity of private equity and venture capital firms has increased over the years. Investing in companies (private and startup businesses) with the potential for long-term growth is exhilarating. But you must have extensive insurance coverage to protect you from the many risks you face.
