Manufacturing Insurance

Investing in People

Through our partnership with CMC, a percentage of every premium goes back to fund workforce training programs. We also helped establish the machining trade program at Mira Costa College in Carlsbad, securing a $2.7 million Department of Labor grant to launch and equip a 22,000-square-foot facility. Because building a safer, stronger future for this industry means investing in its people.

Insurance Solutions Built for Manufacturing

Group Health Benefits

for California Manufacturers

At Champion Risk, we know how important it is for manufacturers to offer competitive, high-quality healthcare benefits –especially when talent is tight and costs keep rising. But for many facilities, getting the rates and coverage you want as a standalone employer can be a real challenge.

That’s where the California Small Manufacturers Trust (CSMT) comes in.

CSMT is a multi-employer health benefits trust built specifically for manufacturers across California – including both metalworking facilities and other sectors. Since 2011, this program has helped more than 60 companies come together to increase buying power and secure better rates, richer benefits, and streamlined administration.

Unlike self-insured options, CSMT is fully insured – making it a simpler, more predictable solution for small and mid-sized operations. It’s sponsored by the California Metals Coalition (CMC) and available exclusively to CMC members. In fact, the savings through CSMT often outweigh the cost of membership altogether.

Champion Risk is proud to co-lead the program, providing expert guidance and strategic oversight to ensure every participating employer gets the most out of the program. Contact us to learn more.
