Acuity: Manufacturing Insurance Appetite
Manufacturing is one of Acuity's top classes alongside contractors and trucking. Their Midwest focus aligns well with the heavy manufacturing corridor in the Great Lakes region. Acuity competes directly with Travelers and CNA on mid-market manufacturing accounts. In their operating territory, Acuity should be a primary market for manufacturers doing $1M-$50M in revenue.
