An investment that grows outdoors

A forest is an asset you cultivate for decades, but a single windstorm or a dry summer followed by a fire can destroy it. For forest owners and timber processors, we create programs that protect the value of timber from standing trees to finished products at the sawmill.

Key risks in forestry

01

Forest fires

Extensive damage to stands caused by drought and subsequent fire, destroying decades of investment.

02

Windstorms and blowdowns

Massive forest damage from windstorms, leading to forced harvesting and a drop in timber prices.

03

Pests (bark beetle)

Biological risks and calamities that devalue timber and require costly sanitation.

04

Liability during harvesting

Damage to third-party property or health during felling, timber hauling, and heavy machinery operation.

Protection in forestry

Protection of forest stands

Forest insurance primarily focuses on fire risk, which is becoming increasingly relevant during times of climate change. We also insure against damage caused by windstorms (blowdowns), which not only devalue timber but also incur enormous costs for harvesting and clearing the damage.

Risks during harvesting and processing

For logging companies and sawmills, we provide liability insurance for damages caused during felling and handling (including damage to third-party property or forest roads). In wood processing plants, we then focus on the high risk of fire and wood dust explosions, where quality insurance is a prerequisite for operational financing.
