Primus

At Barbon, we support manufacturing companies like Primus Wafer Paper when technical insurance challenges threaten to restrict their growth or continuity. For Primus, a leading manufacturer of edible paper for the global food industry, the bottleneck lay in their fire insurance. Their previous advisor had failed to find a way to mitigate and cover their fire risks cost-effectively.

Alongside risk engineer Jurjen Burghgraef (JB Risicobeheer), we completely re-examined the facilities' risks and potential preventive strategies. Presenting these detailed insights to underwriters, we engineered a framework that made the risk highly manageable at a fraction of the previous cost. As a result, Primus became highly insurable once more—under significantly improved conditions and without being forced into unnecessarily burdensome compliance upgrades.

For Primus, it was our mindset that truly made the difference: focusing entirely on solutions, never on limitations. Just as they fight for every euro in their business, we fight right alongside them for every euro of value in their insurance program. Primus values Barbon as a partner that looks beyond standard templates, understanding that every manufacturing plant is unique. That is exactly what Barbon stands for: every client relationship is unique, and true insurance is bespoke—tailored to the organisation, the actual risks, and the reality of the factory floor. Today, Primus actively recommends Barbon because we combine the top specialists in the industry with a fresh, entrepreneurial outlook.
