The WDPG® insurance program

Designed to meet the unique needs of today’s
welding supply distributors and vendors

The WDPG program is designed to provide Best in Class protection for industrial and medical gas distributors, acetylene and hydrogen manufacturers, service and repair of welding equipment, welding machine rentals, robotics, bulk systems, fire extinguisher filling and service, and many other unique operations related to the welding supply industry.

Operations may also include gas distribution, acetylene manufacturing, service and repair of welding equipment, sale and rental of cylinders, delivery of gas in cylinders and bullk, and some sales of medical supplies and fire extinguishing equipment. Expected gases would include acetylene, oxygen, argon, carboc dioxide, mapp gases, LPG and nitrous oxide.
The program is flexible and can address the diverse needs of large and small distributors. Other operations that are owned or operated by WDPG® prospects may be considered if their hazards are acceptable. Each risk will be individually underwritten and priced.
