Manufacturing Strength in the Heart of America
Manufacturing insurance in Missouri is critical for protecting the facilities, equipment, and workforce behind one of the nation's most diverse industrial economies. In fact, Missouri ranks as the 3rd most economically diverse state in the country. As a result, the manufacturing sector alone contributes nearly 13% of gross state product, with approximately 287,000 workers employed across the state.
A Growing Industrial Economy
Furthermore, Missouri’s manufacturing sector generated $42.6 billion in GDP in 2024, supported by major industrial centers in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. Because of this concentration of industrial activity, manufacturers face significant property, liability, and workers’ compensation exposures that require specialized coverage.
