Comprehensive Coverage & Risk Management for ENTEK

At HUB International, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all coverage. We build insurance strategies tailored to the complexities of advanced manufacturing and clean energy innovation—protecting your operations, assets, and global supply chain from end to end:

Tailored Insurance Solutions: Whether it’s extrusion systems, battery separator production, or specialty polymer facilities, we structure policies that address equipment breakdown, property risks, cyber exposure, and international logistics—so you’re covered where it matters most.

Support with Compliance & Global Standards: From EPA regulations and OSHA standards to international trade requirements and product liability, we help you stay ahead of compliance hurdles while maintaining operational momentum.

Integrated Risk Management & Claims Support: Our team works alongside yours to identify operational exposures, implement safety protocols, and guide you through claims when they arise—so you can focus on scaling your technology, not managing insurance headaches.

Data-Driven Marketing for Better Coverage & Pricing: As your broker, we use technology to your advantage. Leveraging tools and digital platforms to bring ENTEK’s story to market clearly and competitively. We translate your operational strengths into underwriting insights, ensuring insurance carriers understand the full picture. This helps us negotiate the most favorable terms and deliver coverage and pricing that align with your business priorities.

A smarter, more strategic way to manage risk.

If your business has grown large enough to consistently outperform the traditional insurance marketplace, or if you're tired of volatility in rates and coverage, it's time to consider going captive.

At HUB International, we help companies like yours build and participate in captive insurance programs tailored to your operations, risk profile, and long-term goals. Whether you're looking to gain greater control over your insurance costs, improve cash flow, or turn insurance into a profit center, a captive might be the right fit.

Benefits of a Captive Approach:

  • Customized Coverage – Design your own program structure to address your company’s unique risks.

  • Long-Term Stability – Reduce your exposure to commercial market fluctuations.

  • Financial Efficiency – Retain underwriting profit and control how your claims are managed.

  • Enhanced Risk Culture – Gain better insights into your losses and take action to reduce them.

We offer feasibility studies, captive formation and management services, as well as access to HUB-managed group captives if you're not quite ready to go solo. From manufacturers and contractors to logistics firms and nonprofits, we’ve helped clients across industries leverage captives to strengthen their business.
