Special Section Sponsored by Target Markets Program Administrators Association LiquorPak & WineryPak Since 1996 LiquorPak has been the leading provider of insurance to wine and liquor retailers across the country. Larry Chasin, president of LiquorPak, explains, “We have managed to provide a stable marketplace over the long-term while remaining both aggressive and selective. Our clients include top retailers from coast to coast—from single location operations to multi-unit chains and large warehouse stores. We provide comprehensive coverages at extremely competitive premiums to above average operators.” In partnership with its carrier, Great American Insurance, LiquorPak has gained extensive experience in underwriting, claims and loss prevention. “This has provided us with tremendous knowledge and insight into the daily operations and exposures presented by this specialized class of business,” states Chasin. “We’ve been able to use this knowledge to further develop our coverages and services in order to strengthen our program.” A passion about wine and the winemaking process led to the development of this program administrator’s newest brand, WineryPak. “It happens that over the last decade, Great American has developed extensive experience insuring wineries on the west coast in California and Washington.” WineryPak has been able to leverage this experience with its passion and focus on the wine industry, and is proud to announce the introduction of the WineryPak insurance programs. “We have spent a great deal of time and effort to put together a comprehensive program providing wineries with the coverages they need at premiums that make sense,” explains Chasin. Early successes have already been documented as the WineryPak “brand” is beginning to roll out beyond the east coast to many other wine producing states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan and others. “Our ability to accommodate the wide variety of exposures that may exist at wineries today has given our agents a competitive advantage right from the start. We can include restaurant, hotel, special event and banquet functions, in addition to the typical exposures presented by winery operations.” It seems that the combination of specialized coverages and limited focus has once again provided a good foundation for success. “It has been very rewarding meeting with winemakers to discuss their exposures and concerns,” observes Chasin. “They seem very receptive to our approach, and appreciate our industry focus and experience.” Chasin points out that he is looking to partner with agencies focusing on these classes of business. “We know that a good many of the Target Markets Program Administrators Association members are, themselves, ‘Best in Class’ insurance professionals,” said Chasin. “We’re always happy for the opportunity to network with them.” Whether it’s LiquorPak or WineryPak insurance programs. Or both. Either way, this program administrator is passionate about wine and the opportunities its program business offers. → |
