Strategic Partners

EMC and ABI – Together again to protect Iowa Businesses. In 1911, the Iowa Manufacturers Association (IMA), predecessor of ABI, fought hard for the passage of the state's first workers' compensation laws. Having first-hand knowledge of the need for an inexpensive insurance plan that could protect the employer and employee in case of an on-the-job injury, association members joined together and formed EMC. The partnership between EMC and ABI today provides property and casualty insurance to Iowa manufacturers with superior claim services, exceptional loss control, and customized coverages delivered through a local independent agent. A benefit of ABI membership.
