The Fit
BrucePac runs two USDA-inspected plants across Oregon and Oklahoma, supplying cooked custom proteins to national retail and foodservice brands. A program for an operation that complex, multi-state, multi-line, and built on food-safety compliance, has to be built around how the plants actually run. Team Haugen is a Pacific Northwest practice inside HUB that knows food and manufacturing risk and brings national carrier reach to match.
Food processors and manufacturers are a core part of our Pacific Northwest book. We speak experience mod, plant safety, and the underwriting that food-safety certification earns, not insurance generics.
Two plants across Oregon and Oklahoma, a large production workforce, and a dozen coverage lines do not belong with a generalist. We build it as one unified program designed for the full operation.
You will know quickly whether an advisor has studied your business. We go deep on operations before we ever talk about coverage, and we build the program around how the plants actually run.
We package an operation like yours for carriers the way it deserves: your BRC certification, ISO lab testing, and sustainability record presented as the full story, so the markets credit the rigor behind the plants rather than pricing a generic protein processor.
Two Plants, One Standard
BrucePac makes cooked custom proteins, chicken, beef, pork, and turkey, in the formats national retail and foodservice brands spec, out of two USDA-inspected plants in Woodburn, Oregon and Durant, Oklahoma. A program for an operation like yours, family-owned and long-tenured, has to understand a large production workforce, specialized processing and refrigeration equipment, and the food-safety certification posture that major buyers require.
Large Workforce
Hundreds of production employees work with heavy machinery, knives, heat, and cold across two states. That makes workers' compensation the center of the program and safety culture its biggest pricing lever.
Two Plants
Two USDA-inspected plants across Oregon and Oklahoma mean multi-state payroll, two property schedules, and a program most generalist brokers piece together awkwardly. We treat it as one operation.
Food Safety
BRC certification, ISO 17025 lab testing, and foreign-material screening are not just compliance. They are the proof carriers credit, and we make sure underwriters see them.
The Product
Fully-cooked proteins shipped to national brands carry contamination, allergen, and recall exposure that standard policies often leave short. The program is built around where that risk actually lives.
Specialized Plant
Processing equipment, refrigeration, and cold storage are specialized and expensive, and a breakdown can halt production. We value and protect what keeps the plants running.
Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation is the largest and most active line a production operation carries. BrucePac's crews work with heavy machinery, knives, heat equipment, and cold, wet environments across two states. The program has to be built around how the plants actually run, and managed long after it binds.
A large hourly workforce split across Oregon and Oklahoma means multi-state payroll and classification that has to be exact. Getting it right protects you from overpaying and from audit surprises.
Machinery, blades, heat, and cold and wet lines carry real injury frequency. The program reflects the work your crews actually do, not a generic manufacturer template.
In this class, safety culture and loss history are the biggest pricing levers. We bring your safety record to carriers as the underwriting asset it is.
The program does not end at the policy. Active claims management and return-to-work keep the largest line on the program predictable.
General Liability
As a B2B ingredient supplier running two large plants, BrucePac's general liability exposure is real and constant: visitors, contractors, and operations claims at facilities that run around the clock. This is the foundation line every other coverage builds on.
Plants that host visitors, contractors, and deliveries every day carry premises and operations exposure that scales with the footprint. The program is structured for two sites, not one.
A processing plant is not an office. Third-party injury and property damage tied to how the work is done sit at the center of the line.
Some of your biggest exposures, contamination and recall among them, sit outside what a standard general liability policy covers. We flag those gaps and close them in the program.
Supplying national brands changes what your contracts require. We align the program to the limits and terms your customers ask you to carry.
Additional Coverages
Beyond the two cornerstones, a multi-state food manufacturer depends on a full set of supporting lines. Each one here is reflected the same way, around how your operation actually runs.
