COMMITTED

Committed

From our founding 125 years ago to today, PLM continues to serve the wood products and building material industries based on our guiding principles. While other companies have come and gone, we have maintained our commitment to provide our customers a stable marketplace, industry-specific resources and quality products and services.

As a mutual company, we are focused on our policyholders – not shareholders. We place their needs at the forefront of our company’s operations, each and every day.

LEADING

Leading

PLM is the leading insurance provider for the wood industry with 125 years of experience in the niche. From our business development and loss control representatives to our claims and underwriting staff, our highly skilled workforce has a wealth of expertise in the wood and insurance industries.

This standard of excellence is achieved by continuous investment in our people through formal professional development plans in general business, insurance and industry education.

INNOVATIVE

Innovative

PLM goes beyond the insurance policy with an emphasis on preventing and reducing losses so our customers can focus on their operations. By understanding the industries we serve and the insurance outlook, we adapt and improve our products and services to best fit our insureds’ needs.

We continually look for cutting-edge, industry-specific risk management tools and new coverages — such as EPLI and Cyber Security — to better serve the evolving needs of our customers’ businesses and operations.

CARING

Caring

PLM is proud to promote a culture of giving through the generosity of our employees. PLM and its staff demonstrate our commitment and care for the communities in which we live through volunteer opportunities and the cornerstone of our giving program, our yearly United Way campaign. We recognize that when we give back to our communities, we make them stronger places to work, live and thrive.
ENDURING

Enduring

PLM is a stable figure within the niche, ever present and active in protecting our customers in the lumber, woodworking and building material industries. Our wood industry expertise, financial stability, and quality products and services are why business owners and insurance brokers have trusted PLM with their businesses, year after year, for 125 years. PLM is “Sturdy as the Oak” and expects to continue serving the wood industry for another 125 years.
PROUD

Proud

We are proud to uphold our history of serving our customers, partners and organizations that seek to educate, evolve, and revolutionize the wood industry.

Our employees are also proud to work for an organization that is committed, leading, innovative, caring and enduring. PLM was recently recognized as one of the 2021 Top Workplaces in the US!
