Association of Independent Metalworkers
|
The Association of Independent Metalworkers (AIM) is a Regional Purchasing Group (RPG) that was formed to gain control and influence over their Risk Management Programs. The group was also created for other purchasing opportunities. By utilizing the buying power of the group, they are able to obtain other products and services at reduced rates. Some of the additional benefits are:
- Legal services at reduced fees
- Lower interest rates from banks
- Reduced insurance premiums
Who is AIM?The AIM Group consists of high quality, well managed metal/steel fabricators and manufacturers. Although the group encompasses a somewhat broad range of metalworking firms (see below), the commonality of the group goes beyond this. The goal of all AIM members is to implement policies and procedures which reduce the chance of a claim occurring. This is achieved through education and loss control specific to the industry. The results are fewer and less severe claims which directly affects the bottom line. Some of the types of companies AIM is looking for are as follows:
| Architectural & ornamental metal work |
Metal door frames & trim |
| Bearing manufacturers |
Metal leaf & foil |
| Bolts, nuts, rivets, screws & washers |
Metal stampings |
| Crowns & closures |
Plumbing fixtures & fittings |
| Cutting tools & machine tools accessories |
Screw machine products |
| Fabricated metal buildings and components |
Sheet metal work |
| Fabricated metal products |
Special dies & tools |
| Fabricated wire products |
Wire spring manufacturing |
| Industrial & commercial machinery/equipment |
|
What Does AIM Cover?
The AIM risk management program is specifically designed and tailored for metalworking companies and can include the following coverages:
- General Liability
- Property Compensation
- Automobile Umbrella
- Boiler & Machinery
- Employment Practices
- Liability
- Pollution Liability and Cleanup
- Other miscellaneous coverages
The concept is unique to the alternative market place. It affords middle market customers the same opportunities that the Fortune 1000 companies have had for many years. By providing quality services and insurance to homogeneous Regional Purchasing Groups, the groups are able to gain control and influence over their insurance destiny.
