Insurance for Aluminium Smelting
This class consists of units mainly engaged in smelting alumina to produce aluminium, or recovering aluminium from scrap. The aluminium is cast into basic shapes or may be cast according to customer specifications. Also included in this class are units manufacturing aluminium alloys from primary aluminium smelted at the same unit.

Frequently asked questions
What should I include in a aluminium smelting insurance quote request first?
List activity profile, assets, workforce structure, and your top three exposures. For Manufacturing this is usually where production-line stoppage and quality defects leading to supply delays, asset mix concentrated in machinery, stock, and processing infrastructure, product liability exposure across distribution and resale channels become the most important differentiators.
Are class-level pages different from division-level insurance guidance for Manufacturing?
Use the class page when your operations map to specific activities. It helps you compare more precise exclusions, continuity, and liability wording for your exact business type.
Which cover types usually need tighter limits first?
Across most divisions, public liability, property/equipment, business interruption, and workers compensation are usually the fastest way to improve quote comparability.
