Team HUB + Murphy Company.
Understanding Your Needs.
Murphy Company is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of high-quality wood products, with a legacy built on innovation, sustainable forestry, and vertically integrated operations.
With multiple manufacturing sites, custom-engineered solutions, and a supply chain that supports industries from construction to industrial packaging, your risk profile requires more than an off-the-shelf insurance approach. You need a partner who understands the complexity of manufacturing at scale and the unique exposures that come with raw materials, custom processes, and high-volume production.
