KMZ Industries (Karlivka Machine-Building Plant, KMZ, Poltava region) has agreed with the Ukrainian subsidiary of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, ARX (the largest insurance company in Ukraine), to insure its elevators against military risks to reduce the risks of losses for agricultural producers, the company’s press service reported on Facebook.
“Today, Ukrainian farmers continue to build and expand capacities at their own risk (…), as the consequences of arrivals can be of different scales. Since 2022, our specialists have carried out a number of repair and restoration works at elevators damaged by debris, and therefore we know how big business losses can be due to this factor,” KMZ Industries Deputy CEO for Development Borys Rybachuk explained, as quoted in the statement.
He emphasized that although KMZ Industries, thanks to the experience gained during the military invasion of the Russian Federation, offers its customers solutions that will optimize and reduce the cost of repairs for farmers, the availability of insurance can fully or partially save them from financial costs in the event of an insured event.
KMZ Industries expects that the war risk insurance service will be relevant and in demand among both small farms and large companies, as they will be able to obtain insurance coverage for a small payment compared to the indemnity limit.
The Property Insurance against Military Risks service provided by ARX covers loss or damage to the insured property solely as a result of direct and/or indirect impact from missiles, UAVs of any type, aircraft munitions, air and missile defense equipment, and any of their fragments.
The annual insurance fee is calculated individually, taking into account the location, area and value of the property.
