The Situation

How Thermal-Vac streamlined their insurance with Dochterman

When Thermal-Vac Technology began working with Dochterman Insurance in 2011, they faced mounting premiums and coverage that didn’t keep pace with their evolving operations. Over the years, Dochterman’s manufacturing-focused expertise allowed them to adapt and refine Thermal-Vac’s policies—consistently delivering more comprehensive coverage and significant savings as the company grew.

  • Evolving Partnership: Over a decade of collaboration, ensuring coverage adapts as Thermal-Vac’s operations grow and change—no costly gaps or irrelevant policies.
  • Measurable Savings: Streamlined policies eliminated unnecessary costs, directly boosting Thermal-Vac’s bottom line.
  • Tailored Protection: Custom coverage forms addressed the precise risks of their manufacturing environment, safeguarding critical processes and equipment.
  • Industry Expertise: Specialized guidance in workers’ comp, safety, and risk mitigation empowered Thermal-Vac to operate more efficiently and reduce liability.
  • Rapid Support: With responsive, same-day communication and proactive problem-solving, Thermal-Vac stayed productive and confident in their coverage.
Jonathan and his company Dochterman Insurance have worked with us in a broker/client relationship since 2011. During that time, Jonathan was able to provide us significant savings while producing custom forms that were able to increase our coverage. I consider Jonathan an expert in matters relating to workers compensation, safety, and risk mitigation. Jonathan and the Dochterman staff work diligently on our behalf, with responsive and timely communication and follow up.
