Mission

Hartford Steam Boiler's Mission

HSB’s technical knowledge and expertise is the key that has helped our customers avoid losses, and recover promptly from losses that do occur, for over 140 years. The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company benefits businesses and industries worldwide by providing:

  • Equipment breakdown insurance and reinsurance;
  • Other specialty insurance and reinsurance;
  • Risk management consultation;
  • Engineering and inspection services.

We provide a variety of these specialty coverages and services, directly through independent agents and brokers, or through our reinsurance arrangements with over 200 multi-line insurance companies.  We work with these companies to integrate equipment breakdown insurance and other specialty insurance into their commercial packages.  Our insureds range from "Main Street" types of businesses such as restaurants to larger types of operations such as manufacturing plants.
